The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup quarterfinals matchup schedule is here! The second match of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup quarterfinals is between Australia vs India a powerhouse matchup that starts March 24, 9:00am GMT at Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium, Motera, India. Australia ended their 34-match unbeaten streak at the World Cup ended by a resurgent Pakistan in Colombo on Saturday. It is noted in the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup, India cricket team lost to Australia in the title clash in South Africa, so India's win would be bittersweet this time and erase those memories.Although India won on their final match with fellow team qualifier West Indies, it's not convincing as skeptics doubt India's inability to handle short pitch bowling when Ravi Rampaul took five wickets. Australia have batting problems of their own with both Cameron White and Ricky Ponting not as sharp as they were before.
Now ICC Cricket World Cup Quarterfinal match of Australia vs India has been under the radar if the Aussies can capitalize India's weakness by fielding Australia's fast bowling trio of Shaun Tait, Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee. While India spinners led by Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan, Ashwin and Piyush can pose problems to Australia if India gets to bat first.
India playing at home, in front of the biggest cricket fans in the world could pushMahendra Singh Dhoni's squad to win this match.
Final sincere prediction: India will win!
