Johannesburg, Sep 24: 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
