The Indian team management is yet to take a decision on whether to include an
injured Virender Sehwag in the team for the final of the Twenty20 cricket
World Cup against arch-rivals Pakistan here today.
The Indian opener is nursing a groin injury and will have to clear a fitness test
just before the high-voltage game and sources said there was a 50-50 chance that
he could take the field.
Sehwag picked the injury while batting in Saturday's semifinal
match against Australia, after which he had to take a runner.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is hopeful that the
Delhi batsman would clear the fitness test.
"Hopefully he should be fine," Dhoni had said yesterday.
The match will begin at 5.30 pm IST and is unlikely to be affected
by weather conditions with the Met department predicting a bright and sunny
day.
