47 of the 49 of the matches of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 are done. We are just remaining with two more games. Co-hosts New Zealand have already made the finals and tomorrow will decide which team joins the Black Caps at MCG on Sunday. If there ever will be a match bigger than the final, it will be tomorrow when India take on Australia at the historic SCG.
Everything said and talked about tomorrow's game will be less. Perhaps English language needs to find a few more words to really describe what tomorrow's clash will be. But, hear me, folks, it will be nothing short of a cracker.
Both India and and Australia have dominated their opponents in this tournament so far. And both the teams have shown exemplary all-round cricket to make it to the semi-finals. The Indian bowling has surprised many in this tournament. And the Australians have always been dominant when they play at home.
India began their World Cup campaign following a dismal Australian tour. They could not win a single game in the course of the tour. The bowlers were all-round the wicket and the famous Indian batting lacked class. But all that has been left behind. After crushing, and I mean crushing when I say it, Pakistan and South Africa in their opening matches, the Indian team has never looked back. Led by captain MS Dhoni, the entire Indian unit has played like a unit. India has not dropped a single game en-route to the semis. The batting has lived up to its expectations and every top-order batsmen has gone to score hundred. The middle order has stepped up and taken responsibility when the top-order has failed. The likes of Raina, Rahane and captain Dhoni have been crucial in this line-up as they have accelerated when needed and anchored the innings when needed. These are some huge positives for India. And the biggest positive is the Indian bowling. India's bowling was seen as her weakness while coming in the World Cup. However, the Indian trio of Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami and Mohit Sharma has given every critic a run for their money. They have bowled a disciplined line and length, landed the ball at the right places, pitched the yorkers correctly at the death, made good use of the short ball and most importantly they have picked wickets. India is the only team in this World Cup to have bowled out their opposition all the seven times. Mohammad Shami features among the top wicket takers of the World Cup so far. Even the spinners have come good, particularly Ashwin, as they have restricted the opposition well in the middle span of play. All and all the Indian outfit is ready to take on the Aussies.
Australia, too, have had a great run in the cup so far. Barring the one loss to New Zealand, they have won all their games. They, too, have gelled well as a unit. In batting, Warner, Finch, Watson, Steve Smith and captain Clarke have played their part well. However, the biggest positive for the Aussies is Glenn Maxwell. He comes and is off from the word Go. There is simply no stopping him. He bats fearlessly. He clears the big boundaries of the Australian grounds with ease and with his innovative stroke-making, he has been difficult to get out. He will be the trump-card of their batting line-up tomorrow. Australian bowling, traditionally has been world class. Johnson is bowling with searing pace and Hazlewood's line and length has caught quite a few people's attention. And Mitchell Starc has been on rampage. He is the second highest wicket taker in this World Cup and his yorkers at the death and controlled short stuff has been difficult to play. And Faulkner is always there to provide with his all-round performance.
50,000 Indians have booked tickets for tomorrow's match. Indians from all over the world will be there at the SCG and would want to see India make it to their second successive World Cup Final. Michael Clarke has personally appealed Australians to lend support to the home team tomorrow. But by the looks of it, SCG will be Solid Blue tomorrow.
Mind games have long since begun. But what will matter is the 100 overs on the ground tomorrow. Traditionally, the SCG has favored spin. And with cyclone Vanuatu receding, the track must be all the more dry. Ashwin and Jadeja will be licking their lips.
In modern day cricket, India v Australia has gone on to become the most famous rivalry in cricket, beating that of Australia and England and even India and Pakistan. The toss will be all the more crucial. Both teams would want to bat first and avoid the pressure of chasing in a big game. Truly, tomorrow will be a game, perhaps, bigger than the final. A cracker on the cards is lined-up.
