Oh, how you all want it, don’t you? Well, this is it, ladies and gents, get ready: one of the most powerful games of the ICC World Cup 2011 is about to begin: Australia vs. Pakistan are meeting today at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo – a historic match no one wants to miss out. Stay with us for live cricket scores, updates and more.

We’ll be following this as eager as anyone else, and perhaps more… despite the fact that none of the two favorites are Europeans. (Hello?! We are based in Germany!) So who do you think is gonna win? Both teams are as strong, as determined… Pakistan perhaps worthier, but they’ll have to prove it, and they’ll also have to be prepared against Rick Ponting’s team:

“We really do start to feel that the tournament is kicking off now. We’ve had our games along the way and the other big game we had in our pool matches was the game against Sri Lanka, which was washed out, unfortunately. We’ve been really excited about playing this game against Pakistan for quite a while.”

Oops! Pakistan, better beware. In the meanwhile, De Ghuma Ke!
