Cricket will be at its best when defending Champion India take on Pakistan in their opening match of CWC15 at Adelaide Oval&nbsp;on 15th February .&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The two neighbours have a rich history of fierce battles on the cricket ground and each encounter sees partisan feelings rise to a feverish pitch.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\">Also Read &rArr; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/preview-of-india-vs-pakistan-match-at-adelaide-oval-in-cricket-world-cup-2015--6978\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\">India vs Pakistan Cricket World Cup 2015 Preview<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Pakistan won 72 matches of the total 126 ODI played against India but the world Cup record is completly in favour of Indi.&nbsp;India won all the 5 encounters against Pakistan in World Cup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">For fans across both the countries, a victory against the traditional rivals is as good as winning the Cup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Justifying all the hype, the tickets for the eagerly-awaited contest were sold out in 20 minutes for the 50,000-capacity stadium, with the South Australian government expecting around 20,000 Indian travellers for the marquee clash.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">While experts, comprising former players and famous voices of the game, all busy airing their opinion about the high-octane clash, expect it to be the most watched match in the sport&#39;s history, a quick glance at the past World Cup battles reveals some interesting aspects of the coloured rivalry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><strong>1992 - India won by 43 runs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">It was the first time that the two nations met at a World Cup match. India, buoyed by a young and emerging Sachin Tendulkar&#39;s fine unbeaten knock of 54 runs, posted 216 and bowled out Pakistan for 173 to register a convincing victory.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\">1996 - India won by 39 runs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">This quarter-final match, played at a packed M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, was keenly-contested. While opener Navjot Singh Sidhu scored an authoritative 93 to set India a strong platform, middle-order batsman Ajay Jadeja put the finishing touches to the innings, blasting a 25-ball 45 -- being particularly severe on pacer Waqar Younis -- to enable India post a commanding 287 for eight on the board.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Pakistan&#39;s response was aggressive and their openers Saeed Anwar and Aamir Sohail threatened to take the match away. But a middle-order collapse, triggered by tight slow bowling by spinners Anil Kumble and Venkatpathy Raju, guided India to victory, despite the best efforts of veteran batsmen Javed Miandad and Salim Malik.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><strong>1999 - India won by 47 runs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">India batted first for the third consecutive Cup game and posted a respectable total of 227 for six wickets. Their total was driven by useful knocks from Tendulkar (45), Rahul Dravid (61) and skipper Mohammed Azharuddin (59). Pakistan&#39;s batting once again let them down, getting dismissed for 180 in 45.3 overs. They crumbled to the pace duo of Venkatesh Prasad (5\/27) and Javagal Srinath (3\/37).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><strong>2003 - India won by 6 wickets<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Even batting first couldn&#39;t reverse the tide for Pakistan despite their posting a strong total of 273. Opener Anwar, always a threat to India, hit a fine century (101) but he was eclipsed by graceful hitting from Tendulkar (98) who, together with fellow opener Virender Sehwag (21), launched a stunning attack on the famed pace trio of Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Waqar Younis.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Dravid (44 not out) and Yuvraj Singh (unbeaten 50) also played crucial knocks to seal victory with 26 balls to spare.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><strong>2011 - India won by 29 runs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Tendulkar (85) again rose to the occasion in a crunch semifinal and helped India to a fighting total of 260 for nine. The home team was well placed to post a superior total but was restricted by left-arm pacer Wahab Riaz (5\/46).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Pakistan&#39;s response was typical, a strong start followed by a middle-order failure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The onus fell on the reliable Misbah-ul-Haq (56) to pull Pakistan through but he ran out of partners and ultimately was the last person to be dismissed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Indian bowlers collectively put up a superb performance with all five frontliners picking up two wickets each on their way to title glory.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">With Inputs from Agency<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
