India will not back down in today’s ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal against Australia whether the Sydney pitch favours pace or spin.
India’s opener Rohit Sharma has insisted that they will do well on any surface.
The Sydney Cricket Ground has not been a successful ground for India, with only one win from 13 completed one‑day internationals against Australia there in 35 years.
However, Australia skipper Michael Clarke said India will be tough to beat, because they’ve played so much cricket in Australia.
He said MS Dhoni deserves a lot of credit for the way he’s captained India, especially after being defeated in the Test series and the tri-series.
India will clash with Australia today in the second ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal at 3.30pm.
The winner will face New Zealand this Sunday in the final at 3.30pm.
