What's the use of having a bunch of talented players when the team cannot handle a 'pressure' situation. This is what is the situation faced by the men in blues. In contrast, name any single talented player in Pakistan team of high esteem or records. you will not find any. But look at the way they are performing in this WC. Simply outstanding. For simple reason for that matter, you can compare the body language of players in team India and Pakistan team. Though I am a fan of the Indian cricket team, I must say, the Pakistan team is the favourites to lift this cup.

The positive factor in the Pakistan team is the spirited display. They came to this WC as underdogs with unstable batting lineup, weaker fielding side. But look at the way they have advanced to the semis.The determination to succeed that's what is the key.

For the men in blues to beat the Aussies, they don't need to make any big master plan for success. They need to just need to put 'pressure' on the opponent even if they are in trouble either it be while bowling or batting rather than invite 'pressure' and gift away comfortable positions, the way they did in the previous encounters.

So, good luck to the Men In Blues. Hope to see an exciting INDO PAK encounter at semis
