Just a little over 24 hours left for the big World Cup semifinal clash between India and Pakistan at Mohali and the excitement has reached fever pitch. Ahead of the mouth-watering clash on Wednesday (March 30) Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi yet again took a dig at Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, saying that even his century have sometimes failed to save India.
First Afridi said Pakistan will not let Sachin score his hundredth ton in international cricket and three days after that he takes it a step further.
He said, "No one doubts the greatness of Tendulkar. But if someone asks me about him and the semifinal clash against India, obviously I will not say we will allow him to make runs. There are instances where Sachin has scored a century and India has lost the match."
However, the inclusion of Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akthar in the playing eleven still stays murky.
Afridi said, "We have not taken a final decision on Shoaib Akhtar. We will take decision by tomorrow after considering his fitness level and bowling. We feel that Shoaib should play the match but all these things have to be taken into consideration. We don't want Shoaib Akhtar to play only for 5-6 overs. We want Shoaib to play for 10 overs."
