India-Pakistan can set up World Cup semifinal

New Delhi: An
India-Pakistan encounter has invariably been a high point at the
cricket World Cup ever since the two clashed for the first time in
1992 Down Under. The two former champions can clash in the semifinals at Mohali March 30 if India overcome Australia and
Pakistan beat England in their first knockout rounds.
India, who have finished second in Group B, will have to beat
defending champions Australia in Ahmedabad Thursday while Group A
toppers Pakistan will have to overpower the West Indies in Mirpur
Wednesday before they can think of the exciting Mohali clash.
India have never lost to Pakistan in the World Cup, coming on top in
all four meetings which were riveting. The only time they met in the
knockout round, India beat them comfortably in Bangalore in 1996.
In the other two quarterfinals, New Zealand face South Africa Friday
in Mirpur in Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka take on England in Colombo
Saturday.
