There are all sorts of scenarios and permutations about which teams could make it through to the semi-finals in Group A but the simplest is this: if Australia beat India, it will be Pakistan and Australia who progress.
Previously Dhoni led India to the ICC World Twenty 20 trophy in South Africa with a victory over arch rivals Pakistan in an intensely fought final on 24 September 2007, and became the second Indian captain to have won a World cup in any form of cricket, after Kapil Dev.
Currently in the ICC Champions Trophy 2009, the squads are below
Australian Team : RT Ponting*, MJ Clarke, DE Bollinger, CJ Ferguson, NM Hauritz, BW Hilfenhaus, JR Hopes, MEK Hussey, MG Johnson, B Lee, TD Paine†, PM Siddle, AC Voges, SR Watson, CL White
Indian Team : MS Dhoni*, R Dravid, G Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh, KD Karthik, V Kohli, P Kumar, A Mishra, AM Nayar, A Nehra, YK Pathan, SK Raina, I Sharma, RP Singh, SR Tendulkar

Pitch and conditions : India have the advantage of having just played in Centurion, where the conditions are different to the Wanderers. The surface is much slower and provides more assistance to the spinners. Runs are available if the bowlers fail to adjust and Australia will need to sharpen their efforts after struggling to run through West Indies on a cracking and helpful Johannesburg pitch. There is also a strong chance of showers in the evening, so the teams should bear that in mind at the toss.
