The last time the two teams met at the same venue, in the 2003 World Cup,The build-up for this match was different.Before March 1, 2003, the teams had not played each other for three years.But in last three years now, they have played 17 ODIs, six Tests and two Twenty20s.

During that match,Sachin Tendulkar played what many call the greatest ODI knock of all time against an attack of Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis and Abdul Razzak.Sehwag,Dravid and Yuvraj also played their parts in the Victory.

But this time around the story is different

Sehwag isnt in the team neither are Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh.Team India is plauged by injuries and their bowling and fielding have been suspect,while on the other hand Pakistanis are pretty confident that they will win considering their recent form(Shahid Afridi, Umar Gul and Younis Khan have been quoted on how badly they want to beat India).

Pakistani surely have an upperhand going into this match and it shouldnot come as a suprise if they WIN this match comprehensively

Instead of Virat Kohli/Dinesh Karthik i would like to see Abhishek Nayar in the team,as He bats well and provides a good bowling option also

Knotty India still have much players to face
Yuvi surely would be an important miss But I think Sehwag was fit, and rather not included in squad

Cmon Pakistan!
