India, Pakistan heading closer to

Cup collision

Bitter rivals India and Pakistan are on a World Cup

collision course, but first the two neighbours have

quarter-final hurdles to overcome as the marathon

tournament enters its sixth week.

India take on defending champions Australia in Ahmedabad

on Thursday while Pakistan face an inconsistent West Indies

in Dhaka to kick-start the last eight stage on Wednesday.

Victory for both Asian giants will set-up a semi-final blockbuster

in Mohali on March 30.
