Preamble
Opal Fruits aren’t the only thing that make your mouth water. Since time immemorial, World Cups , all sports, not just cricket , have been enriched by one particular fixture: a knockout game between the hosts and the holders.
India v Australia in Navi Mumbai is about as mouthwatering as semi-finals get. India, the hosts, are desperate to win their first World Cup. Australia, the holders, are favourites to win their eighth. Before the tournament, most people thought this would be the final; instead the two teams are fighting for the right to face South Africa on Sunday.
The group game between the sides was a minor classic that produced 661 runs. Tonight’s game could be an epic.
The match starts at 9.30am GMT, 7.30pm AEST, 3pm in Navi Mumbai.
