INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA MATCH-PREVIEW

India v South Africa ICC World Cup 2011

So far in Group B India is the only team who has not lost a single game but the games against Ireland and Netherlands they failed to register a convincing win.

An earlier victory against Bangladesh and a tie with England has fixed the place in a quarterfinal  with seven points from four matches.On the other hand South Africa has four points in three games.They looked more balanced & dominant side till they choked against England while chasing the modest 171 runs target for victory in Chennai.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was positive, despite his team's stuttering performances in chasing targets of 208 against Ireland and 190 against the Netherlands.Indian team most concern part is their bowling which is yet to be clicked together. Apart from Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh no bowler looked like picking up the wickets. Harbhajan Singh has picked up just one wicket so far in his four outings.India batting looked settled,however Sachin and Sehwag needs to built on the start rather than throwing there wickets away.

With both teams are looking strong,it will be an interesting encounter.
