People are saying its final before 2011 CWC Final, yes it's the match between title favorite and co-host India and defending champions Australia in the 2nd Quarter-Finals on Thursday, 24th March, 2011 at Sardar Patel Stadium, Motera, Ahmedabad, in a day-night game starting from 09:00 GMT, 14:30 local, 14:30 IST.

Indian openers giving good start but the problem is their middle and lower order collapsed not once but many times in this WC, first against England they lost 7 wickets for 33 runs, then against South Africa, lost 9 wickets for 29 runs and against West Indies 7 wickets for 51 runs. They need good show from Dhoni and Pathan in the end as Sehwag, Tendulkar and Yuvraj are in good form and good thing is that their bowling also clicked in the last match.

Australia lost their winning streak in the last match when they defeated after 34 matchessince 1999. Ricky Ponting and Cameron White are totally out of form but their bowling is their fast biggest strength but looking weak in spin department.
