A pattern that can make "Aus will win" and "Ind will lose" camp happy or feel vindicated about their stand: a) Ind's winning streak - From Asian team AFG (warm-ups) / Pak (group) to Asian team BD (QF) b) Aus started Ind's campaign with a loss (first warm up) and will end it at SCG (SF) Bet your house on Aus :P

It’s being reported that up to 70 per cent of the SCG will be packed with Indian supporters and it would continue a trend that has seen venues across Australia and New Zealand jam-packed with blue-clad fanatics. “It does not feel like we are playing Australia,” Dhoni said after one of his team’s group matches. “I would like to thank our fans for backing us every time we step out. It feels absolutely great to perform for them.” Originally published as Indian View: ‘Five reasons we’ll beat Aussies’ http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/cricket/cricket-world-cup-2015-indian-media-provides-reasons-why-australia-will-lose-semi-final/story-fnp050m3-1227274287054

AUSTRALIA’S pleas for a gold rush of hometown support at Thursday’s World Cup semi-final are set to be washed away by a tsunami of patriotic Indians, who are out to turn the SCG into a hostile coliseum. Organisers are privately expecting a staggering 70 per cent of a sold out Sydney crowd to be made up of fanatical Indian supporters. The tournament hosts face the chilling prospect of feeling like they have been kicked out of their own party, a mood that’s only going to be exacerbated if the mystery SCG wicket suits spin more than pace. Australian players like Michael Clarke and David Warner sensed the prospect of an ambush early and have issued an impassioned call to arms for fans to create a “gold out” on Thursday. Even SCG-locals, the Sydney Swans, are set to be brought on board to help spread the “gold out” message. But co-founder of the Swami Army, Kartik Ayyalasomayajula says the Australians are clutching at straws - this is the biggest down under Indian sporting event of all time. “I think that (the tweets) definitely says they’re going to be outnumbered,” said Kartik. Organisers say there are no tickets available and the SCG will be packed to its 42,000-cricket capacity. The only way to get in is through the ICC’s official resale website, and through the last remaining hospitality and travel packages available through ICC travel. Among the local Indian community, re-sale tickets for the semi-final are selling for as much as $400 a pop. “It’s pretty much name your price kind of thing,” said Kartik There are thousands of Indian supporters flying in from as far abroad as the USA, UK, Singapore and the sub-continent itself. Ticket sales started going through the roof when the quarter-final picture became clear, an indication that the Indians will dominate the stands. Even at the rained out one-dayer between the two nations back in January at the SCG, two thirds of the crowd were Indian, and their supporters packed out the Bill O’Reilly Stand. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/cricket/cricket-world-cup-india-fans-set-to-transform-scg-into-home-away-from-home-for-semi-final/story-fnq1ugvn-1227273469187

I am sure they are. Everyone has and even Indians do too. It is how you play with it after the first ball has bowled. Most of the team under perform after the game has started as they are still feeling it. Australia were reallly good at this last decade as they never showed any pressure. India has been really good with this recently. So a cracker awaits us.
