India and South Africa will play against each other on Sunday, October 30, in the Super 12 round of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. After kickstarting their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup journey against Pakistan on a winning note, India seems to have been in a strong form under the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma. The match, scheduled to be played at Optus Stadium (formally Perth Stadium), will be India’s third match in the ongoing tournament. The team have already win both the previous matches in this T20 World Cup against Pakistan as well as the Netherlands.
South Africa, on the other hand, has also not lost a single match in this tournament. While their match against Zimbabwe was called off due to bad weather, the team scored a clean victory against Bangladesh with a huge margin.
This match will be an important one for India, who currently sit at the top of the table in Group 2 with 4 points from two back-to-back victories. Meanwhile, South Africa has 3 points in their kitty. To maintain themselves as group-toppers and become a contender to semi-finals, India will have to defeat Proteas in the Sunday’s match.
