India vs Pakistan - Next Match (2nd ODI, Mohali)

When is the next India vs Pakistan match?
Well it's a day and night fixture to be played at Mohali tomorrow (November 8, 2007). Live telecast begins at 2:30 PM on Neo Sports and of course Live Commentary and Live Scores would be available here.

India takes a 1-0 lead into the match with 4 games yet to play. Ganguly, Gambhir, Yuvraj and Dhoni all got useful knocks in the first game but the pressure will remain on all of them to perform because others are knocking on the door.

Sehwag was in pretty good form in the NKP Salve Challenger trophy. But the main threats would be coming from Suresh Raina and Rahul Dravid. Raina was the man of the series in the Challenger trophy and followed it up with a double ton for UP against Orissa. Rahul Dravid also hit a double century and it came against a pretty strong Mumbai bowling attack and these two definitely need to be in the team...but the problem is that who can be dropped? Or 'rested'? Definitely not Robin Uthappa?! Or how about Sachin Tendulkar?

Anyways this one is going to be a great match. The Mohali pitch always favours the faster bowlers and with Winter just around the corner - the dew factor would be playing an important role too.

Mohali is one of the most beautiful stadiums in India and the crowd is sure going to be awarded with a great match!

Predictions? Gambhir to grab man of the match! Yousuf to continue piling on the runs for Pakistan.
