Today the 31st of March is one battle which is more than just a semi-final between the two striking titans of cricket, India and West Indies. When you know that it is just one single step away from the finals and the opponent you’re to face is stronger like you, chances of nervousness and crazy anxiety occur easily. The way both the teams have paved their respective ways towards this match, it is an obvious zeal with which each team player must preparing himself to fight and play harder today in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
Each team is self-sufficient to offer the enemy team a serious and hard hitting blow. Some of the star player holds the special power to become the game changers when required. India’s captain and vice captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli respectively with their smart and quick play can give stress to West Indian bowlers like Dwanye Bravo and Andre Russel. Whereas with a bat not less than a bolt of lightning, Chris Gayle is amazingly strong to bowl over bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya in no time. Gayle is said to be unsure when it comes to Ravindrachandra Ashwin’s brilliant spins. Taking this fact as one main consideration Ravi Shastri has typically stated all the bowlers to attack and bowl out Chris Gayle as soon as possible.
Another fact regarding India and West Indies’ cricketing history is one disappointing stroke for the Indian fans. Dhoni’s team has an average record of wins against the West Indians. But since there have been many agile experiences throughout this tournament, which in many ways have strengthened the Indian tea, so to hope for a third consecutive win for India can be an easy task.
Their beautifully crucial wins against Pakistan and then Australia are great proofs of their earnestly powerful mettle.
Unlike West Indian team, our Indian team will be playing without Yuvraj Singh in the batting order due to his health reasons. The answer to his replacement is still not known. So why not just wait and prepare ourselves with all sort of snacks and drinks before we tune into DD National at 7:00 pm for the toss and then 7:30 pm for the second and the last semi-final to begin.
