In the Super 12 round of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Sunday, October 30, India and South Africa will face off. India appears to have been in good shape under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma after winning their opening match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup against Pakistan. The game, which is slated to take place at Optus Stadium (formerly Perth Stadium), will be India’s third contest in the competition. The team had already defeated Pakistan and the Netherlands in their two previous T20 World Cup games.
South Africa, on the other side, hasn’t dropped a game either in this competition. While the team’s match against Zimbabwe was abandoned owing to poor weather, it defeated Bangladesh handily and by a wide margin.
India will need to win this game in order to maintain their lead in Group 2 with four points after two straight triumphs, therefore this contest is crucial. South Africa, meanwhile, has 3 points to their credit. India must overcome Proteas in the game on Sunday in order to keep their group-topping position and advance to the semifinals.
