Theoretically, on current form India can win the World Cup without winning more than five matches in a row. India plays Holland first which it should win even if the heroes fail. Assuming India loses the next match to Australia, it has to win the remaining four matches in a row to be fully secured of a Super Six group. This is not beyond this team. Then, assuming South Africa has topped Pool B, India will play for its fifth successive win against the hosts. If India wins, it will only be the third time it has won five matches in a row. If India loses (through a highly probable computation, it can lose to either Sri Lanka or New Zealand/West Indies), it can still win the next match to enter the semis. Then it has to win just two matches in a row. That the two matches are called semi-final and final is merely of semantic importance. Not impossible. The reason for giving this model is to just say that Indian inconsistency has never depended on who the opposition is. Merely on its Sixth Match Syndrome. The way this World Cup is drawn, India has a very good chance of winning the Cup even if it is inconsistent. And of course, if it doesn’t play as "a team".
