Excitement, enthusiasm, and joy are in air when team India has secured its final position against Sri Lanka to be held on April 2, 2011 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The unstoppable Indian team has overcame so many hurdles to ensure their position in the final face off to be started from 2:30pm IST on Saturday. The performances of both teams are magical and have scored many accolades to get nearer to the cup. Since the enthusiasm of cricket has been returned to the Indian sub-continent, experts are depicting that the match will be a tough one and one of the finest ODI in the World Cup so far. Will India re-create the magic of 1983 win by winning over its counterpart by topping the ODI ranking as well? Millions of Indian cricket fanatics are praying hard for their team’s win.
Indeed, Indian team has huge potential to do the unthinkable but the issues that are virtually strong cannot be ignored as well. The pressure to perform the best on their domestic ground is probably the greatest thing to handle in this match. Expectations go over the roofs every time Indians have to perform on their home grounds. The team’s earlier performance in the semi-final matches of earlier World Cups got affected due to this pressure factor. It is difficult to meet the elevated expectations of billions who cheer from the stand. So, this massive pressure needs to be dealt tactfully.
Consistency is another issue that should not be avoided easily. The team’s overall performance has been consistent but not enough reliable in a longer run. Also, the fitness levels of players are a key thing to be kept in mind. The top performers have been coming out of injuries and relying totally on to their contribution will be a cautious factor.
The bowling side of the team is always a worry for the India side. The standard for the bowling has lowered down in the recent side. The team lacks dependable pacers who can help the team to build the attacking pressure upon its opponents. The quality of bowling side shows the imbalance in the team that may become a major reason to worry in matches especially the final. Although the team did fantastic bowling performance against Pakistan in the semis, but Ashish Nehra got injured in the same match and most probably he is not going to play in today’s big match.
The fielding side of the team is also not too bright. Though the fielding performances have improved to some extent but it is still far from the international levels. The need is to work very hard on the fielding front to help the team to prepare well for its equally stronger opponent.
No team is perfect. However, working hard on the weakness and bringing improvement is the surest way to grow and achieve win easily. The Indian team is the best example of the statement and consistently doing well to bring moments of passion of its fan across the globe. Let us wish all the very best to India to re-create the magic of 1983 and hope the team brings the cup once again to home.
Then we are also looking towards the century of the centuries by the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar. I believe that he can be able to give us the gift of the 100th century and the World Cup too. It’s because this is for the first time that Sachin Tendulkar is playing the World Cup Finals in front of his home crowd only and I News India wishes him a very Best of Luck for the match.
