🏏 Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #37: India vs South Africa 🏏 - Page 5

"If you look at this pitch, it's a lot better on the surface than the previous game between Pakistan and Bangladesh," Ravi Shastri says in his pitch report. "There was a hint of turn, but it became better to bat with the dew [during that game]. There's a lot more spots today and I think it will assist spinners. The colour of pitch was white but it has got some tan now. Both teams have got all bases covered."

Jeetu : "Ashwin can be potent against the SA left handers..but the question is whom do you drop then?"

Taz: "On the flip side I would like to see India bat/SA bowl first because they are both uncomfortable doing that and it will be interest to see how they adapt"

Taz: "To everyone saying it will be Ind v SA final, dont forget NZ and Aus are ruthless in the knockouts, especially against India and SA"

It looks like a better surface when compared to the last game, that pitch had a lot more spots. It did turn a bit, but it got better under dew. This pitch has a lot of spots at one end, not a lot from the other end. It does look slow, there will not be a lot of bounce, the batters need to adjust to this surface. It has got a nice tan and there is some grass on the surface. Both teams have got their bases covered. A bat-first track, reckon Ravi Shastri and Irfan Pathan, in their pitch report

NZ pehle semi final pahunch jaaye phir knockout ke baare mein soche

Last year ke T20 WC kaa recap hone waala hai. Sabne socha tha SA Netherlands ko harakar semifinal jaayegi par khud haarkar Pakistan ko semifinal mein bhej diya.

NZ is also walking on same path

At last Rohit won the toss and take a right decision, he elected to bat first.

India won toss and will bat first

India have won the toss and have opted to bat

Bravo Ind bravo👏

India have won the toss and have opted to bat
