Forget the sheer depth of emotions, expectations and pressure in a match between India and Pakistan. Concentrate instead on the fact that India have entered the Super Sixes of this World Cup right through the front door by comprehensively beating Pakistan. At the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Saturday, it was a battle not meant for the faint-hearted. And what a match it turned out to be before India won it by six wickets. The game started on the right note, with players from both the teams wishing each other. And Pakistan did the right thing in the morning, deciding on batting first after winning the toss. On a track that looked full of runs, Saeed Anwar and Taufeeq Umar got going at a brisk rate.
