Cricket World Cup -India vs Pakistan semi-final today!

Techies are excited! A high-octane cricketing contest seems on the cards as both the teams have been preparing hard in the nets. Pak paceman Shoaib Akhtar’s inclusion in the Pakistani team is still suspect, while Umar Gul has been training

to scalp the Indian openers. In the Indian camp, the mood is pretty light and the ‘captain cool’ Mahendra Singh Dhoni is making sure the team handles the pressure with equanimity on the big day.

All eyes will be on Sachin Tendulkar who’s on the cusp of kissing glory with his 100th international ton, which Pak

captain Shahid Afridi will pull every string to deny the little master. Apart from performances, a lot will depend on the dew in the evening and also the power-plays.

Pressure will weigh heavy on both the teams as the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan will watch the match along

with a number of dignitaries from both countries. Among the fans, there’s been a mad scramble to get the tickets and Mohali has almost turned into a fortress with layered security cordons and no-fly zone.

Most of the companies and techies are already prepared for the game of this world cup.  Some companie

s are providing in house screening of the match. Many sick leaves and earned leaves are already logged for the day. The internet will get stuck afternoon because of the curious unlucky souls who needs to work because of some

‘unavoidable’ circumstances.

Going by the latest weather report, even rain might play spoilsport at the semi-final match.
