Is it payback time for Indian team...
World Cup is getting into that final fierce stage molding for that one final big encounter. Competitive, Skill, Passion, Commitment all converging on the field. How many times we witnessed teams fighting their breadth for victory giving more than 100%. New Zealand and South Africa Semi Final clash was one among them. Witnessed a wonderful cricket match between New Zealand and South Africa, finally deserving team won the match. One marched Forward while other stayed back in the hearts of millions.
We saw two teams been unbeaten during this edition of world cup New Zealand and India.
Both have been separated at semi final stage with two tough opponents having all the potential to win this world cup: South Africa and Australia.
Now we are waiting for second finalist, who will win the match between and Indian is very tough to say at this moment. Both teams have a got a balanced team, with batsman potential to score big scores and take match away from opposition and bowlers destroy the opposition.
India had been in Australia from 24th November 2014, close to four months having been played against 4 test matches and 2 ODI as part of triangular series which involved England.
Still waiting to resister a win in last four months. Same point been used by opposition to play the mind games before the match, which is routine for Australian side.
Glenn Maxwell Quoted " I Think we targeted them pretty well this summer. They haven't won a game against us all through the summer. Hopefully that is pretty clear in their memories.
While Johnson threatened India to be prepared for aggressive on field sledging " I'll Sledge India If David warner won't".
Meanwhile Captain Michael Clarke and Warner calls the crowd supports in twitter Knowing the SCG will be outnumbered with Men in blue lauding Bleed Blue - " I call on all Australian Lovers to paint SCG on Gold on Thursday . We need your support . #goldout".
Going by pure world cup stats head-to-head is 7-3 in favour of the men from Down Under. Going by recent match in world cup India won by 5 wickets in Quarter-final of 2011 world cup.
So will Indian team deliver the desired result and keep the date with New Zealand on 29th March 2015. We Need to Wait and Watch
