India is in a great position - they have already qualified for the semi-finals and comfortably so. Australia on the other hand have had a disappointing outing. They have lost both the matches they have played so far - to Pakistan and West Indies. They did come in playing some good cricket but have flattered to deceive. And in both the games, they were in a position from which they should have won the games. But things have not gone their way and they find themselves almost out of the tournament. At the time of writing this blog, Pakistan looks like they will beat Bangladesh comfortably - and if that happens, Australia is out. In this situation, what can India hope to get from this match - Momentum. This is one of the most important aspects of team sports - and something fans don't necessarily understand well. It is impossible to tinker with your performance levels - up and down - at will. This is like a ship and you cannot turn it back and forth in high seas. D
