Indians stay in the hunt after cooking Pakistan's goose
Victory by 47 runs would not suggest a cliff-hanger in any form of cricket, let alone a World Cup one-dayer. But such is the tension and prestige attached to an India-Pakistan tie of any consequence, that even a 100 runs victory will count as an edge-of-the-seat thriller.

India give Pakistan a bad `practice match'
Party Away! Feel the warm glow. Wake up feeling good. India blew away so many bogeys and bugaboos in beating the old cricketing foe in the World Cup that all you'd think everything else about the tournament is now secondary.

India's win has opened up the tournament
From Toronto to Old Trafford from Dhaka to Sharjah, for from Calcutta to Karachi, any cricketing contest from the world's self-styled blood rivals, the atmosphere can only be declared as electrifying.
