Australians are going to be a tough team to handle but India have ammunition to go out and do what is required: Sachin Tendulkar
Mumbai, June 7 (IBNS): Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar feels that Indian team has the required 'ammunition' to fight against Australia in their second World Cup match on Sunday.
Sachin, however, warned that Australian team will be a tough side to handle.
"All the confidence you have gained from this game (vs South Africa), pack that in your kit back and get to your next game. Australians are going to be a tough team to handle because of the combination and confidence they have at the moment," Tendulkar told India Today.
"But I feel Team India have the ammunition to go out and do what is required. But Australia at The Oval, it's going to be a good game. The pitch has slightly spongy bounce and I think Australians are more used to that. Oval is one pitch where I feel there is a little bit of extra bounce which might favor Australia slightly," he said.
"The Australian attack is a good attack but Indian team is geared to play that attack. We have done well in the past against that bowling attack. Guys will be ready to face them," Tendulkar told India Today.
India started their World Cup campaign with a victory against South Africa in their opening match.
South Africa have lost all the three matches so far they have played in the tournament.
Australia defeated West Indies by 15 runs on Thursday night.
