A place in the semifinals of the World Twenty20 will be on the line when hosts and pre-tournament favorites India take on 50-over world champions Australia in the final match of Group 2 in Mohali. The scenario could not have been set up anymore tantalizingly. The two giants of world cricket sit level on four points and will now go head-to-head in a winner-take-all contest for the right to join New Zealand in the last four.The two sides have enjoyed similar paths to this point. Both began with disappointing defeats to New Zealand to immediately put themselves in a hole, while they each recorded their most impressive performance of the competition against Pakistan. Against Bangladesh, while both secured victories, there were plenty of nerves involved.
