An epic battle is on the cards between the top two ODI teams when India cross swords with three-time defending champions Australia in what promises to be a high-voltage quarterfinal of the cricket World Cup here on Thursday.
The two ageing warriors would like to stamp their superiority and propel their side to the last four stage on March 24 at Motera's Sardar Patel Stadium.
Both teams have had a chequered run into the second stage of the competition and are also conscious of the fact that from here on there`s no second chance to bounce back unlike in the group stage which is bound to create extra pressure and produce jangled nerves.
Australia, the highest ranked ODI team in the world, have clearly lost that aura of invincibility even in this format after having been toppled from their high perch in the Test arena.
