Well as jp10 pointed out this is a mismatch, an infantry company against one or two tank battalions. Were it company vs company though, about a dozen tanks and platoon of infantry vs maybe 150 grunts, the tankers might run into problems if the ground-pounders were dug-in. But if they catch the leggies out in the open it would most likely be a slaughter.
No, the tank ain't dead, but it isn't a panacea for every land combat situation either.
