India and Australia face each other in what is being called "a Final before a Final". India has been on a roll and on high confidence but Australia has upper hand psychologically and will have the huge advantage of playing in front of home crowd and home ground. Australian team has asked for a green pitch hoping to make it harder for the Indian batsmen to play shots. However it is a double edged sword since Indian seamers have also been able to exploit faster pitches and take wickets.

Match Preview

 India is undefeated so far in the World Cup. The top order looks solid with everybody amongst the runs. Dhawan and Kohli both have scored century while Rohit Sharma scored an half century against UAE. India played with UAE on the same pitch which is fast and bouncy. Indians are likely to take advantage of the wicket and are likely to test West Indians with bouncers and short pitch balls. Indian bowers are in form and roaring to have a go at West Indies. Indians will be looking at Gayle as the biggest threat who scored a double century after failing in the first two games.
