Self Imposed Curfew


      Today Indian Cricket Team is going to play at 2.30 p.m.( Indian Standard Time) against their arch rival Pakistan at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali for second Semi-final of International Cricket Council’s Cricket World Cup 2011, and it is considered by the experts, former cricketers as mother of all battles, for both countries cricket fans and teams it is not acceptable easily to lose game against each others as it hurt, tease, upset and annoying them for quite a long period, yet they can bear without any tension defeat against any other country even in the finals, hence it put additional pressure & tension on to the players as it is accepted by former players lot of times. Media of both form electronics and press hype the game so much before the start of match three to four days in advance and create lot of acceptation from the players to deliver for there country and on the ground it does not look both teams sportsmen are playing, instead they appear as proxy warrior which have command of country to deliver not less then victory, and it is worth mentioning here that both teams are playing against each other first time since 26th November, 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai which better known as 26/11.
    Prime Minster of India Doctor Manmohan Singh sent invitation to the Prime Minister & President of Pakistan to see the match in stadium, on very next day when India defeat Australia in the quarter finals and the fixture of second Semi-final is schedule to held on 30th March,2011 which are going to played between India and Pakistan, and as per information Prime Minister of Pakistan has accepted the invitation and he is going to be present in the stadium along with his team of 100 delegates, score of other dignitaries from India are also going to watch the match from stadium to cheer for Indian cricket team and they will be from the fields of politics, Industry and film fraternity, ignoring the request by authorities that V.V.I.P. watch match from there homes as it is creating tough situation for the security personals plus as per information at Chandigarh airport there is no place for planes to park and personal choppers are going to stationary at Amritsar Airport. As per news ICC has ban and cancel the passes of news channels to cover the reports during and after match and BCCI is trying to settle the matter.
      Today at 2.30 p.m., second Semi-final will start as it is day and night game and in the country after that time there will be self impose curfew in the country till last ball of the second team’s innings and inside the stadium there will be almost 60,000 eyes cheering for Indian and Pakistan cricket team’s high voltage clash and outside stadium within country it is expected over one billion eyes or half a billion persons will be glue to there television sets and countless will magnet with there television sets across the globe where ever Indian resides, they wont miss single ball irrespective of there time it suit them or not, same thing will apply on to Pakistani fans, as per record of world cup matches between both the countries till date, they had met in the past four times and all the matches won by Indian cricket team, they are –
  • 4th March 1992 (Group stage) - India won by 43 runs; however, Pakistan qualified from the group and went on to beat England in the finals.
  • 9th March 1996 (Quarter Final) - India won by 39 runs; India lost in the Semi Final from Sri Lanka.
  • 8th June 1999 (Super Six stage) - India won by 47 runs; this was India's only win in the Super Six. Pakistan lost in the final against Australia.
  • 1st March 2003 (Group stage) - India won by 6 wickets; India qualifies from the group.
Past games are history and they can make winning team bit confident but on the given day any team can win or one can say team perform better in all the departments of the game like batting, fielding, bowling plus mix of little luck also, but if we go through the quarter finals of both the team, then Pakistan thrash West Indies convincingly –
  • Pakistan beat West Indies by 10 wickets
  • India beat Australia by 5 wickets
In this scenario if anybody ask from Indian fans who will win then without taking breath will shout for India and if he/she is Pakistani fans then they will say Pakistan, right now if we are MISSING anybody whose predictions were proved almost hundred percent then he is PAUL THE OCTOPUS but unfortunately he is no more, so picture will clear once the second innings 50 overs completed or team batting second all out.
