The Pakistan cricket team is in a quandary. If they win, all of India will not only be upset, but also, the team could face wrath playing in Mumbai where a political outfit was out baying for their blood. If they lose to India, the Pakistan cricket team knows what is in store for them judging by the Pakistan Interior Minister's remarks ahead of the India v Pakistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 semi final.

The India v Pakistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 semi final has been a rather heated affair already and there are still two days to go before the first ball is even bowled. However, there is drama already brewing within the Pakistan cricket team.
There were reports of the Pakistan cricket team wanting additional security while playing in India. There were also concerns about Pakistan team playing in Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium should they beat India in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 semi finals given that the Shiv Sena had previously threatened to let the decision to play be left to their party boss.
In the meantime, Pakistan have also received threats from within the Pakistan government via Rehman Malik who is already sending out a message to the Pakistan cricket team about what could be the possible conclusions if they lost the match to India.
However, the ICC and the BCCI have denied that the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 final venue would be changed to protect the Pakistan cricket team. Citing security forces, it is being considered that there will be no trouble when the final does come to Mumbai and also, that the result of the India v Pakistan will not affect Pakistan's participation one way or another. The Shiv Sena has also, in some quarters, denied making any comments to the contrary, even though they had been against the idea of Pakistan cricketers even in the IPL, some of the franchisees and members of the Bollywood earning flak for their empathy for the cricketers from across the border.
