WC 2023: Will India Bowling Missile break SA Batting Blitz

India takes on South Africa in WC 2023. India is set to face South Africa in Kolkata, evoking a sense of deja vu. Both teams are vying for the top spot in the points table, with India aiming to continue their winning streak and South Africa hoping to secure their semi-final spot.

 It's worth noting that only Virat Kohli and R Ashwin remain from the 2011 title-winning squad.In their ODI cricket history, South Africa holds an advantage, having won 50 out of their 90 encounters, while India secured 37 victories, with three matches ending without a result.

This Sunday, the clash between these two cricket powerhouses will take place at Eden Gardens.South Africa has a strong preference for batting first, consistently setting the stage for substantial totals, winning matches by over 100 runs each time. On the other hand, India prefers chasing a target, adjusting their innings accordingly. The toss winner on Sunday faces a challenging decision.

This match also tests India's five-bowler strategy, as they lack a sixth bowling option with Hardik Pandya sidelined. South Africa aims to exploit this vulnerability.With Pakistan's win over New Zealand, both India and South Africa have secured semi-final berths, making this match a potential dress rehearsal for the final, pending their qualification.
