India shuts down for India-Pakistan showdown

ė©®diavspakistan
India's billion-strong population will be calling in sick to work, shutting shops early and even cancelling doctor's appointments to make sure they watch Wednesday's much-hyped World Cup semi-final match against arch rivals Pakistan.

Daily life will grind to a halt in cricket's spiritual home as fans from all walks of life settle down to watch one of the sport's most intense rivalries.

India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yusuf Raza Gilani are among those scheduled to watch the encounter, along with Bollywood celebrities and corporate czars.
