Pakistani batting is inept, only Younis Khan and Afridi pose danger. Misbah is slow against India. Haris Sohail has poor technique, Maqsood is a bit weak and Nasir Jamshed is out of form and Umar Akmal is inconsistent. If Pak bowl first, Irfan can run through our batting lineup, and with pitches not supporting spin, Pak can manage to chase down 180-200 range. They chased 250 against England, which has a much better bowling attack than ours. If Pak bat first, they may wilt under pressure to 150-160 all out.
Both Pakistan and India are inconsistent in the run to wards World cup. Irrespective of the opposition India should have a good opening match to get their confidence back. One good show brings the best out of them

@wcpak:: Beta Pak are not evenly matched with Afgans.. Shant raho beta...
Hope all these training sessions help to resolve their unresolved issues of batting failures of Kohli in particular. It is not that every match Kohli only has to hit, but he has to pick up his form as even against Afghanistan he failed. If Rohit, Kohli, Raina and Dhoni click or atleast three of them in one match along with performing Rahane and supported by Rayudu, Binny etc., India should comfortably put a good total so that bowlers can try to get a match of it . Unless above 275 is made by the batsmen, Indian bowlers who are not at their best can do nothing
