Having gained the psychological advantage by easily winning the first match, a confident India go into the second one-day international against arch-rivals Pakistan in Mohali on Thursday, seeking to keep the momentum going with another convincing performance. Pakistan have to look at the weak links in their batting. A lot to play for in the remaining outings of the five-match series. Remember, Pakistan won 4-2 in India the last time round despite losing the first two games.
The five-wicket triumph in the first one-dayer in Guwahati will no doubt serve as a huge morale booster for MS Dhoni and his men but they can hardly afford to be complacent against the unpredictable Pakistanis in what promises to be a thrilling floodlit contest at the PCA stadium.
The conditions in Mohali will definitely suit the Pakistanis as the track will have something for both the batsmen and the bowlers as well.
A cursory look at the matches at Mohali and it will be difficult to figure out whose home ground it is. While India have played seven matches here, Pakistan have featured in five at the PCA Stadium. While India have secured five wins from their seven outings, Pakistan have won just one of their five encounters.
