Ahmedabad. The teams of West Indies and South Africa will face each other in the T20 World Cup Super Eight on Thursday. The aggressive batsmen of West Indies will have to face the excellent bowling attack of South Africa. In the last match, South Africa had defeated the Indian team by 76 runs on the same ground, while West Indies had defeated Zimbabwe by 107 runs in Mumbai. West Indies have batsmen who can win matches single-handedly, but now they will have to face the South African bowlers who had troubled the Indian batsmen a lot on Sunday. The match will be played from 3 pm.
Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi are continuously performing well. South Africa’s batsmen are also no less and David Miller has pulled the team out of trouble many times. Miller took over the innings after several wickets fell in the powerplay against India. Some special competition will also be seen in this match, like how Shimron Hetmyer faces Rabada’s balls or how much trouble Maharaj’s spin gives to Rovman Powell. How useful is Miller’s experience in front of Akil Hussain or whether Brendon King likes the bounce of Yansen’s balls or not. If this match will be played during the day, there will be no dew and the importance of the toss will be less.
The teams of West Indies and South Africa are face to face.
Due to dry pitch, spinners may play a role in the beginning.
Due to the dry pitch, spinners may play a role in the beginning. South Africa has played most of its matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium, due to which the team has adapted to the conditions here. He can benefit from this in this important match. If West Indies wins then problems may increase for India. This will take West Indies closer to the semi-finals and South Africa will have to defeat Zimbabwe in the last Super Eight match. In such a situation, India will have to win over both West Indies and Zimbabwe by a big margin.
