India's hopes of reaching the semi finals of cricket World Cup got a further jolt as New Zealand-Zimbabwe tie of Super Six stage has been abandoned. Both New Zealand and Zimbabwe have shared two points.

This means that Zimabawe has now got 5 points, which means that India can not catch up with them, as they have got only two more matches to play.

Now, only a miracle can save India from getting out of the race for semi finals. Perhaps rain in other matches like Australa-Zimbabwe tie, can keep India's hopes alive.

If this was not enough, there is another bad news for Indian cricket fans as Saurav Ganguly twisted his ankle during net practice. But Indian camp has said that he will play against Pakistan on Tuesday in Manchester.

India's match against Pakistan has become an all important match as both teams need to win the match to stay in the hunt for semi final berth. Particularly India, which is yet to open its point's account in the Super Six stage.

Pakistan already has 4 points and needs to win one more match to reach semi finals.

Indian master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has not been able to make big scores in the last few matches. A big innings from him can give India a chance to keep its hopes alive in the World Cup. If India loses against Pakistan, it will be all over for them in the World Cup.
