MOHALI, India - Pakistan are now favourites to win their World Cup semi final against India after the Indians slumped to 205 for 6 after 42 overs, having looked like they were set for a huge total in the early stages of their innings.

Despite some appalling Pakistani fielding - in which Tendulkar was dropped three times before being dismissed for 85 - the Indians failed to capitalise on a strong start and Pakistan now trade at 1.92 on Betfair, meaning that for every $100 staked you would make $92 profit if the Pakistanis won. India are now on offer at 2.06 on Betfair.

With 42 overs played $22,638,683 had been matched on Betfair, with India trading at a low of 1.31 and Pakistan matched at a top price of 4.20.
