Pakistan vs India Cricket World Cup 2011 Semi Final

'The mother of all cricket matches', as quoted by Ravi Shastri. Yes folks, its true, India and Pakistan in the semifinals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

Big stars such as Sania Mirza, the wife of Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik said: 'The war is on' as she supports India and Shoaib will side Pakistan ofcourse.

By reading these compelling statements one can imagine that a Pak-India game is indeed going to be a treat for cricket fans all around the globe.

Statistically, Pakistan have a 60 to 40 per cent advantage over India in ODIs, but India has won all 4 encounters in the WC against Pakistan. The Indians won a tight battle against Australia to progress to the semis, while Pakistan dismantled West Indies by a 10 wicket margin. However, in crunch games like these, form doesn't count. Whether it will be home advantage or the visitors will outclass the hosts is a mere guess. Epic encounter it sure will be remembered for years to come.

Manmohan Singh of India has invited Pakistani PM and President to accompany him to watch the match live in Mohali.

Nothing can be said as yet but this match will definitely be 'a final before a final' and both teams will be desperate to beat the other. Don;t forget to take a poll on the right side bar of this website

Today, Quarter Final stage of  ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, has came to an end with Sri Lanka defeating England by 10 Wickets.  The following teams have made their way to the Semi Finals

Pakistan

India

New Zealand

Sri Lanka

I am really disappointed not to see England and Australia in the Semi Finals but may be these four teams were at their best. So here are the fixtures for ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 Semi Finals

1st Semi Final Fixture: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka on 29 March 2011

2nd Semi Final Fixture: Pakistan vs India on 30 March 2011

New Zealand beat South Africa by 49 Runs

ICC Cricket world Cup 2011, Quarter final, New Zealand beat South Africa, 25.3.2011. New Zealand has secured theri position in the semi finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 by defeating South Africa by 49 runs today at Dhaka.

The Black Caps were first thankful to Jesse Ryder (83) and Ross Taylor (43), who rescued them from 16 for two at one stage and helped them post 221 for eight.

And Jacob Oram and Nathan McCullum then combined superbly with the ball to bowl the Proteas out for 172, as their last six batsmen were dismissed for just 51 runs.

New Zealand now await the winners of tomorrow's quarter-final clash between England and Sri Lanka.

They lost two wickets in the early exchanges - Brendon McCullum departed for four and Martin Guptill for one - but Ryder and Taylor staged a good recovery.

They maintained a largely cautious approach, edging the total to 77 in 20 overs, with Ryder reaching his 50 soon after.

He and Taylor took 27 overs for their third-wicket stand, but Imran Tahir at last gave the Proteas some respite when Taylor holed out to deep mid-wicket.

Scott Styris could only add 16 off 17 balls before being bowled by Morne Morkel and Tahir again claimed a big wicket as Ryder's slog sweep only found substitute Peter Ingram.

Kane Williamson's late 38 helped New Zealand surpass 200, even as Nathan McCullum, Oram and skipper Daniel Vettori fell for single figures.

In reply, Hashim Amla (seven) was out in the first over in bizarre fashion when his slice off Nathan McCullum bounced off wicketkeeper Brendon's foot to be caught by Vettori in the slips.

Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis steadied the ship by putting on 61, but Oram hit back to dismiss the South African skipper for 28.

Kallis held firm on a turning wicket but a well-built 47 was ended by Tim Southee as Oram took a good catch in the deep.

Two wickets in the 28th over further dented South Africa's progress as JP Duminy (three) was bowled by Nathan McCullum while AB de Villiers was run out after his patient 35.

Oram's superb spell continued as he dispatched Johan Botha (two), Robin Peterson (nought) and Faf du Plessis, who fought bravely for his 36 off 43.

New Zealand will now either face Sri Lanka or England in the Semi Finals of the Cricket Worl cup 2011
