It would come in as a rude shock for anyone to realise that only one out of India or South Africa would proceed into the semi-finals. Well, the two teams have themselves to blame after squandering off their matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
India however, will be the more worried outfit, after their bowling woes returned to haunt the men in blue. Termed as India’s most able bowling unit going into an ICC tournament, the Sri Lankans didn’t have any difficulties in chasing down the highest ever target in the history of the tournament.
Thankfully, the weather is expected to be clear on Sunday and if the latest trend is anything to go by, another run feast awaits us on a glorious Sunday morning. It’s a do-or-die scenario for India and they are up against a side, which has been dominated by them in their recent ICC event meetings. It was in the 2011 World Cup at Nagpur, when South Africa last defeated India in an ICC event.
For the clash, India would have to analyse and solve a few clear problems. Thereby, we have a look at the five integral tactics which India must use to beat South Africa and book their tickets for the semi-finals.
