In an exciting and tight match India beat Australia to storm into the semi final to meet Pakistan. As anticipated it was a tight match and Indians handled the pressure well to come on top. It was a special feeling to see the Indians ending the run of Aussies in the World Cup and putting an end to the reign that has expanded to over a decade.
In my earlier post I had given India 55 - 45 advantage over Australia and it turned out to be like that in the end. The match was very much in the balance till Yuvraj and Raina got those 2 overs from Tait and Lee where they scored almost 27 runs. The master gave us a good start and it was good to see Raina strike some form as well just at the right time. But there are a few things that needs to be addressed before the semi final. The running was very poor with Gambhir tried to get himself run out a couple of times and finally achieved the feat. Dhoni is still not in batting form and we are still playing with just one bowler(Zaheer Khan).
But there were a few positives that can be taken from this match, India fielded well that was also due to the fact that Raina was on the field and Asish Nehra was not. It was good to see Ashwin bowl nicely and confidently. Also the batting form of the team continues. Indians are looking a better side and their confidence must be high as well after defeating the world number one team. Let us hope they continue the good work in the tournament ahead and give us a couple more positive results. That is all that we want. Isin't it ?
