To make India's task easier in the finals Pakistan was well on its way to the biggest upset of the tournament.When i last heard the news, W.INDIES all out 159, Pakistan 142 for 1 with plenty of overs to spare so i assume it will be india vs pakistan once again.To refresh memories india beat pakistan soundly in the preliminary rounds. P.S... Polling in major metropolitan cities dropped to less than 30% in the recent assembly elections as people were glued to their T.V(radios) as a result of india's scintillating performance in the world cup.
