Today its not a simple match, it’s a key of success door for kangaroos and Indians. Reaction of Indians is totally changes for today’s match over Pakistan
“It is interesting. The whole of India will be praying for a Pakistan win for a change,” said former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja.
“I think it’s a God-given opportunity for both the countries and with Indian fans praying for a Pakistan win, I hope that both the countries take this opportunity to come close to each other.”
Former paceman Sarfraz Nawaz hopes Pakistan do not go easy on Australia.
“It’s India’s fate and I would celebrate if India goes out of the event,” said Nawaz. “But Pakistan must beat Australia to carry a winning momentum.”
Here today’s match is a game of survival of Indians who are just commercial Hero’s. Over the sixty years they made propaganda for Pakistan but now they are backing up Pakistanis for their own survival. How mean they are…
Dhoni said India would be keeping an eye on the Pakistan-Australia match before deciding the team combination.
“They are playing a day game and we are playing a day-nighter. By the time we start our game, we will know where we stand and what we actually need to do. Accordingly, we will decide the playing eleven,” said Dhoni.
“This is one of those games where you have to achieve everything. First of all, you want Pakistan to win and Australia to lose. Then you want to win against the West Indies and you have to better your run-rate.”
Pakistan have already made it to the semifinals after securing four points from two wins, while defending champions Australia are strongly placed to join them in the last-four with three points from two games.
The West Indies are already out of the competition with no points after two matches. The top two sides advance to the semifinals.
Even if Australia lose to Pakistan and India beat the West Indies, the second semifinalist will be decided on net run-rate. Australia (+1.000) are currently well ahead of India (-1.080) on net run-rate. Today’s match is for 104 runs i.e. India need 104 runs for stepping up for the semifinals. I f Pakistan beat Australia by 50 runs then India needs 54 runs victory over West indians. Both the games are very crucial for India and Australia for their survival.
Here is points table in which Pakistan leads in both Group according to their Net Run Rate. Insha Allah Pakistan will lead the Trophy. Pakistan Zindababd
