Struggling Batsmen Face Bowling Challenge on Sporting pitch

                 One loss in the opening match forced India to face on 3 virtual Knockouts, it asn't been that easy to make roads to the semifinal. Once again it's time for an Knockout clash as they take on West Indies in the second final on Thursday at Wankhede.
              Unlike India Windes opened their account in an Caribbean style against England, where the English men witnessed a Gayle Strom. Later it was Fletcher and their bowlers who made two in two. But against Proteas it's not the same story with the bat, where they struggled to score runs on a slow low pitch. But eventually at the end made it on the right side, after against Afghanistan they couldn't make it as fell short of 8 runs.
              The scenes showing that Windes might be losing their momentum at the crucial phase, as Sammy's says it six steps to lift the trophy. But they haven't gone under pressure playing an virtual Knockout so far, which they have to deal for the first  time aginst the Host's.
               Meanwhile India haven't lived up to the expectations of the ferry tag line of favourites, due to their concerns in the batting. They are yet to perform as an unit in the batting, while bowling as been their strength so far keeping them in the hunt in crunch situation's.
              But Injury to Yuvraj may alter their strategies a bit, where he played a crucial role with the ball and bat aginst Aussies in testing conditions. Pandey who Is drafted in the squad may fill the spot in the semifinal.
               Both the sides have similar concerns with the bat , as it as been one man show for them so far. Apart from Fletcher and Gayle the batting unit as been down, while with India it is Virat who is leading with the bat, with his crucial knocks aginst Aussie and Pakistan.
              Meanwhile the pitch at Wankhede produced run  fest's, but on the eve of the semifinal the curator is ready with an sporting pitch. With enough assistance to bowlers and batsmen, pacers may get help in the early part with tinch of grass. Although toss gonna be crucial as it as been difficult to defend scores on this pitch so far.
             In crunch games like semifinal's it's all about handling pressure which as been a feature of Indian team, but it as been the problem with Windes. The contest mainly determines the batting between both sides, where bowlers pulled things back so far in the tournament.
