India's batsmen have to ensure to make the most of it for a big advantage.
Fielding: Indians are known to be slow movers on the field. However, as the tournament moves towards the business end, conceding 25-30 extra runs can make a huge difference in the outcome. Every single run saved will matter now.
Short pitch bowling: Only way to curtail India's batsmen from playing their shots, is to bowl short. And Australia's fiery pace attack of Brett Lee, Shaun Tait and Mitchell Johnson can very well deploy the tactic. India, be prepared to face chin music.

Batting collapse: After getting dream starts, India's batting has often collapsed like a pack of cards (7-33 vs England, 9-29 vs SA and 7-50 vs West Indies). But given that it's a knockout, with one more such collapse, India can forget its chances of winning back the Cup.
Batting 50 overs: India has completed their full quota of 50 overs only once (against Bangladesh) whenever they have batted first. Keeping in mind the close matches against England & SA, it is always good to bat till the end and make those few vital runs count.
