India came another step closer to bringing home the World Cup of Cricket with a scrappy win over a very tough Pakistan team last night.  The match was filled with physicality and skill, and in the end a nation of over a billion people celebrated as their Indian national team looked to get back into the World Cup final and take home the title for the first time in 28 years.

India’s idol Sachin Tendulkar added another top-notch performance to his long-growing resume, as he dropped a score of 85 during the match against one of the team’s most hated rivals.  He and his teammates bowled over Pakistan’s batsmen, winning by 29 runs and exposing a beleaguered Paki derfense in Mohali Tuesday night.

The championship game itself will be held on Saturday, with the hopes of a nation riding om their hero Tendulkar.  Looking to bolster his legend even more with an even better performance than the one he put on in the semi-final, Sachin Tendulkar is hoping to lead his team to their first World Cup title in nearly 3 decades.

Currently, his team is the odds on favorite to take down the championship against Sri Lanka, with popular betting websites like Bodog giving India the title of favorite at -185 – as opposed to underdog Sri Lanka getting +150 as of today.

Oher Cricket betting sites like Bet365 offer similar odds, with odds to hit the most Sixes at -110 for India and +160 for Sri Lanka.  Highest opening partnership wagers are also giving India the favored odds at -130 as well.
