Jupiter in the 9th ensures financial success !

Jove in the 9th, in India's national horoscope, ensures success for the World Cup. It wont be like the World Cup of 2007, which was a financial failure.

Saturn in the 3rd also lending support, we will see both WC and IPL IV emerge as huge successes. Advertisers competing with others for the ten second spot ad on TV ! Rising gate collections, rising viewership !

The winning team will get $4 million. Last time Australia pocketed $2.2 m, but this time the prize money has been hiked. In 2003, the runners up India got $800 K !

Meanwhile, Gavaskar has cautioned India not to go for revenge against Bangladesh. BD had beaten them in 2007 WC, but then this is not a time to take revenge. Just try to build your innings and bowl well. Wins and losses are part and parcel of the game. They are a rising side and within some years, they wll be a force to reckon with.

Dhoni's powerful team has won both warm up matches.

Dhoni said "We have to replicate the effort of our intensity in our first match against Bangladesh."

Selection seems to be a problem, with only two slots and one of the trio - Yuvraj, Raina, Kohli - will have to sit out. Kohli is in great form and he along with Pathan seems to be the only two players who are in great form.

On the other hand, Shakib, the BD skipper, said he is confident of the outcome, with millions of Bangladeshis cheering for his team.

"We are yet to be tagged the favorite against any of the big teams, but I can assure you that we shall try our level best and are prepared to give more than 100 per cent on the field."
