ind is favourite so ind vl lose n pak vl win. but to clean image of bcci n ind team, this ct vl b awarded by icc to ind, so that ppl attention is diverted from fixing.
It is all media hype calling it 'super saturday' just because it is Ind-Pak match. India playing with semis berth in pocket while Pak with return ticket back home in pocket, the intensity is bound to suffer on either side. But India must maintain its winning streak so that it is in better frame of mind for playing in the knock-out stages. India is in form of its life because never before the Indian side looked so invincible and unbeatable in an international tournament. Pakistan on the other hand , except for one or two fellows look like a bunch of amateurs w/o any clue . Although the bowling attack is not bad but the approach of the team looks very unprofessional and shoddy. Commitment level quite low and they look drained out even before the match starts. Prior to yr 2000 the Pakistani side would pass through highs and lows like any other side but in recent yrs the side seems to be mutating continuously with ‘half life’ of the Pakistani side at any given time being less than that of radioactive elements. Otherwise how do you explain the pathetic performance in the CT of a side which toured India less than a yr ago and won the one day series ? Coming back to india, it being a dead rubber India could as well try out Vinay Kumar as a 2nd pacer and Amit Mishra in the 3rd spinner slot to test them in the English conditions.

considering the IPL fixing scam no one is interested in these matches and also pakistan is betraying us so much then also we are playing with them... anyways the quality of cricket has also come down... this is just mediocre cricket (qoute unqoute!)

This is because Pakistan had solid team in 90's. Wasim Akram at best, Waqar Younus, Saeed Anwar, Akhtar, razaq at peak then, aamir sohail, ijaz ahmed and salim malik.
Also after 2000 india has produced fearless sehwag, yuvraj, dhoni, raina and kohli who are not afraid of anyone. Indias only weak link is fast bowling... once varun aaron comes along with yadav and ishant then fast bowling will be good

he will be hit for six on very ball he bowls. India will score 300 runs and pakistan as usual fall in less than 100 runs
