1. Having beaten Pakistan 4 times prior to this match India have their heads up and on the other hands Pakistan is still not sure why their performance against India fails every time in the world cup so they will play too cautiously and mount pressure on themselves. And in a match between India and Pakistan once a team starts feeling the pressure then they are out of the match.

2. If we have a look at Pakistan’s batsman batting then the highest score made by Misbah is 83 which means no century. If they have to chase a total in accesss of 250 then at least one batsman needs to stick there and make a century which seems hard to come by for Pakistan.

3. India’s batting is in top form and the top order is bound to fire in this crucial match. One century is definitely coming up from one of the top 3 batsman. So whether the century comes batting first or batting second the victory will be bound to come.

4. India have a better batting line up so they can even chase a total in access of 250 and if they are required to set up a total then the side batting second will have those scores eating there minds up which they made against the weaker teams of their group where they won just by some miraculous bowling by Afridi. (But no luck against India  for Afridi as Indians play him very well)

5. Indians are playing on their home ground, in front of their home crowd so support is all on the side of India.


So to summarize I would say India are the favourites for the Semifinal and they will come up as winners in Punjab Cricket Stadium, Mohali.
