Hotels across India go all out to recreate Mohali magic

This Cricket World Cup looks unique in that everyone seems to think that it has only one semi-final.

As New Zealand on Tuesday lost to Sri Lanka's superior talent, the general discussion was mostly about plans for the India-Pakistan match in Mohali.

Offices have changed timings to make sure the employees don't miss Wednesday's action and a number of theatres starved of film releases since the World Cup began plan to screen the match. SRS in New Delhi has invited its employees and associates to come with family and friends to watch the match.

But it is at the eating joints that the offers become truly meaty.
