Australian QF Defeat - will it be the biggest Upset?
The toss will be the most important factor in the Aus-Pak QF.
If Australia is the best batting team, Pakistan is the best bowling team.
Bowlers like Wahab Riaz, Rahat Ali & Sohail Khan can easily make a good meal of Aussie batsmen - and there is Afridi too.
Once the ball gets a bit older, their reverse swinging deliveries are almost unplayable. Most teams try to accelerate in the final overs - with Pakistan, one is forced to slow down.
Pakistan has nothing to fear, but a lot to prove - could well be the biggest upset in the history of Aussie cricket.
It all comes down to the toss - Pak bat first and accumulate 300 on a great batting track at Adelaide and the Pak bowlers will have their tails up leading to Aussie Collapse in the end.
Could well be the breaking news today night or front-page headlines tomorrow morning: "Oz Knocked Out" !!!

What's more - Pak has won the toss will bat first - am I surprised?
Australia's chance reduce further - ball is known to swing further during late evenings in Adelaide - any SA cricketer will vouch for the same.
Misbah is a silent killer who can bat entire innings - someone who slowly but surely takes the game away from the opposition.

Oops
There's to lose now. The final being in Melbourne gives them a huge advantage over any other country.
Go the West Indies or South Africa
