Analysis of India vs Pakistan World cup match (Before Match Start)

Here i come to analyse India vs Pakistan. Well Pakistan in spite of boasting great players have failed to beat India in 50 over world cup. This has always been the weak link of pakistan in spite of having a greater head to head record. But one feels this is their best chance to win against india as sachin tendulkar in their 5 previous meetings in worldcup has got three moms and also 1999 wc super six he did play well. Now let us analyse strengths and weakness.

Strengths:
Pakistan- Their unpredictablity is their strength. On a particular day they have the ability to beat any opposition. Also afridi recent form and his sense while batting is a great positive factor plus also no sachin. Also misbah form is decent.

India- Already played two warm up games in adelaide and got used to the surface and also rahane form in middle order has cleared the confusion who will open. Obviously also they havent lost a game against Pakistan which will help them a lot. I would say biggest positive factor has been rohit form while opening.

Weakness: 

Pakistan- No odi series win from 2014. This has really been pathetic plus their resistance with younis khan and dropping some performers has been a problem. No Saeed Ajmal and no hafeez is a body blow when it comes to bowling plus no junaid khan. Deprndance is too much on lala and irfan in bowling.

India- No experience in fast bowling what so ever and also bhuvi not being fully fit. Also the biggest negative factor is india two best odi players since 2011 wc Msd and Kohli are in poor form with bat. Also raina thtowing away his wicket at wrong time is hurting India.

My Pick- Because of India doing well last 6 months in odi except cb series including in eng and pak winless streak from 2014 in odi series win and also wc head to head record India will win the game for sure.
