Lara and Tendulkar set for landmarks

DHAKA, Oct 30: All eyes will be on little master Sachin Tendulkar and
cricketing prince Brian Lara as India and West Indies meet in the
semi-finals of International Cup at the floodlit Bangbandhu National
Stadium tomorrow.
Tendulkar, already having a super-duper century in the mega
spectacle, will no doubt be the main weapon for Indian skipper
Azharuddin in the second semi-final to ensure a place in the Sunday's
final clash for the trophy.
West Indies' captain Lara failed to show his form in their first
match of the Mini World Cup, but he obviously expects to excel
against India to guide the Caribbeans to the final.
The all-round performance and his recent form showed that on Saturday
the Dhaka crowd would surely see another big score from the
swashbuckling batsman.
Like thousands of his fans across the world, including in Dhaka, Lara
will also want to click in the Saturday's semi-final that means so
much for his side.
