IND v PAK 2011 CWC 2nd SF Preview at Mohali - India v Pakistan Cricket WC 2nd Semi Final Teams

Its WC Final before the Final, yes it's match between bitter neighbor arch rivals India and Pakistan, likely to be the biggest match of 2011 Cricket World Cup, when they meet in the 2nd Semi-Final on Wednesday, 30th March, 2011 at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh, in a day-night game starting from 09:00 GMT, 14:30 local, 14:30 IST.

Indian batting line is supposed to be the strongest in this WC, starting from Sehwag and Sachin at the top, followed by Gambhir, Kohli, in-form Yuvraj Singh, out of form captain Dhoni and Suresh Raina. Bowling is their weaker link but bowlers done well in the last 2 matches against West Indies and Australia, specially Zaheer Khan, R Ashwin and Yuvraj Singh.

Pakistan on the other hand is exactly apposite as they are strong in bowling as captain Shahid Afridi is the leading wicket taker with 21 wickets in 7 games picking wickets at crucial time, Umar Gul taking wickets with the new ball as well old ball, also contributing Ajmal, Razzak and Hafeez. Their batting is patchy despite Hafeez and Kamran Akmal did well in 10 wicket win against West Indies. They will much depend on Younus, Misbah and Umar Akmal.
