India’s Fate at SCG
(India versus
Australia)
Today, India faces Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground in all
new spirit. India, the defending champions has to prepare itself for the best
of Australian attack who believe that ‘attack is the best defence!’ All over
India different prayers have begun in the religious shrines and across the
globe. India so far has been performing very well by winning all six group
matches, winning their quarterfinal against Bangladesh and that is how the team
India has made it to the semi-final.
Indian fans seem to be very optimistic of winning this
semi-final after watching India’s consistent team performance. But not to
forget the Australian bowling attack which is powered by Mitchell Johnson,
Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh and many more. At the same time the all-rounders they
have are remarkable in their performance. Rohit Sharma has special memories on
this SCG, as he along with Sachin Tendulkar in March 2008 where he helped Team
India beat Australia in their first CB series final. In 2011 cricket world cup,
India had faced Australia at Ahemdabad. India had won the match instead of
Australia’s 260 runs target and a massive century by Ricky Pointing. This pitch
of SCG is also known to favour the spinners. That is how Shane Warne was seen
spending time with the Australian bowlers in the net practice session the
previous day.
All the experience and all the history need to be put into
practice against Australia. Team India need to be perfect in the beginning and
hold the strings of the match in their hand to sail the boat smoothly. But now
as the match has begun, Australia has won the toss and chose to bat. They have
lost an important wicket of David Warner but Steve Smith (49 runs) with Aron
Finch (32 runs) has been batting fine. The score now is 97/1 in 17.4 overs.
