India take on Australia in the second semifinal in Sydney on Thursday. The winner will play New Zealand in the final of the World Cup in Melbourne on Sunday. Rohit Sharma will be key to hitting India.
Rohit Sharma hopes that India will rise to the occasion at the World Cup semifinal Thursday against Australia in Sydney.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, the opener of India said: "Of course we can win, no doubt about that know how to play big games Spinners have been vital, the responsibility will openers..." (Perfect Time to beat Australia, says Kohli)
India will seek a flying start from Rohit Dhawan Shikhar as Australia will bank on the way of reciting the world champions. Australia are watching their fifth World Cup title and if they can beat India, which will run in the World Cup co-hosts New Zealand. Kiwis beat South Africa in a thrilling semifinal in Auckland on Tuesday. (Johnson promises sled India)
"We do not care what kind of wicket we get because we are confident of doing well on any surface," Rohit, who scored 137 in the quarter-final against Bangladesh in Melbourne said.
"We have taken 70 wickets in seven matches, shot the opposition every time, so we know what we have to do," he added.
Rohit, who had a verbal dispute with David Warner during the tri-series, said he expected a contest of fire between the two sides. Warner was fined after telling Indian opener "speak English".
"A little sled is fine, as long as the boundaries are not crossed. The Indian team not cross the line, but we will not be liked," Rohit said.
India has defeated Australia only once in 35 years in a one-day international at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where a century Sachin Tendulkar helped them win the first tri-series final three games in 2008. (Can Australia Walk the Talk?)
Starting with wins against Pakistan and South Africa, India won all six group matches at the start of Group B and then drank energetic Bangladesh by 109 runs in the quarterfinals. (Maxwell wants SCG is green and half)
Surprisingly, India has accumulated more than 300 scores each time they batted first and rejected the opposition in seven games so far. (India are not a pushover: Finch)
Four-time champion Australia has won six semifinals that have appeared in since the inaugural event in 1975, but India will consider the SCG as the best place to end this record
