Come Saturday India fans would get a chance to see an electrifying match. South Africa and India are girding up to face each others in Nagpur. Though India is pretty well sitting at the top of the match it would be a good testing time for the country that till now has not lost any matches in the ICC World Cup 2011.
A few hours before the match, South Africa’s opening batsman fired the first salvo by saying that the pressure is on India because it would be playing in front of the home crowd.
He said: "Being at home comes with a lot of expectation. I don't think the pressure is on us as much as it is on India." The match between the teams has been expected for long. It is going to be an interesting clash of titans as both the teams are the favorites. But in the last match against England, the highly-talented South Africans were choked chasing a modest run.
This is not for the first time that India and South Africa will be playing each others. During a recent foreign tour India had lost to South Africa in a tightly contested match by 2-3. But this time India has the advantage as they will be playing on their pitches. Besides, in this tournament SA that is known for its pace attack came to the World Cup with three specialized spin bowlers. Till now Tahir is in great form as he has taken wickets in every match. But his real test starts against India whose batsmen are good spin players. It would be interesting clash.
