The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Just one win can change everything. Indeed, it has done it for Indian fans. India defeated South Africa yesterday in Belfast and tomorrow, millions of people in India will eagerly watch in TV the final match of the ODI series between India and South Africa. You already know that South Africa won the first match of the series. So, whoever wins tomorrow will clinch the series.

The six-wicket victory in the second game yesterday has not only restored the balance in the three-match series but has also presented India with an ideal opportunity to revive their sagging fortunes following the World Cup debacle.

A viral bug and fitness problems to some key players took a toll on the Indians in the first game but Rahul Dravid has now found just the right combination to go for the kill against the South Africans, who also promised to field a full-strength squad.

Tomorrow’s game is vital for Indian team. Many people in India are still sad from the miserable performance of their team in World Cup Cricket 2007 which was held earlier this time. Now, a series win against South Africa in Northern Ireland will help to forget this pain to some extent.
