India, hot favourites on Wednesday, 30th !

Indian batting is impregnable, said Imran. India are hot favourites, says Imran, Viv Richards, Allen Border etc !

When the WC started, Pak was an underdog. Now with some superlative performances, they topped Group A. But then India has always been their nemesis in the WCs so far. The thing is psychological. In WC, we find SL losing to Pak and Pak losing to India ! Psychologists attribute this phenomenon to fear of failure ! May be Pak has more wins in ODIs against India, but on the World Cup stage, Pak simply falter !

Imran says both Afridi and Dhoni will have sleepless nights, but the pressures is more on India, as they are playing a before a home crowd ! Pak, as underdogs, have no such pressure. ( This statement is not true. Pak is also riding on high expectations. Most of the Pak experts feel that Pak may go all the way. If Pak wins, Pak will be graced by happiness. So pressure in on both ! ).
