India vs South Africa
T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 2 Prediction & Tips
Time: 30 Oct, 04:30 PM (IST)
Series: T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 2
Venue: Perth Stadium – Perth, Australia
Info:
Virat Kohli has hit scores of 82 not out and 62 not out so far in the tournament and he is our pick for India’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Arshdeep Singh has taken five wickets from the opening two games and he is well worth backing as India’s top wicket taker against South Africa.
Rilee Rossouw has hit successive centuries in IT20 innings and the left-hander is our tip for South Africa’s highest run scorer against India. Anrich Nortje took 4-10 from 3.3 overs against Bangladesh and the pace bowler is a strong choice for South Africa’s top wicket taker in this game.
We recommend backing Virat Kohli to score over 30.5 runs in this fixture.

As has always been the case in Perth, there is plenty of pace in the wicket. Quick bowlers will get good carry from the pitch and we expect a par score to be around 180.
Toss Prediction:
Two of the three T20 World Cup games at the Perth Stadium have been won by the team fielding first. We predict that both captains will choose to bat second in this match.

TEAM NEWS:
IND Team News:
It would not have been a big surprise if India had rested a couple of their top players for the game against Netherlands but they showed full respect to their opponents and named an unchanged XI. With no injuries sustained, we expect to see the same team again in this match.
SA Team News:
After the rain-interrupted game with Zimbabwe finally ended in a no-result, South Africa made one change to their XI ahead of the clash with Bangladesh on Thursday. Spinner Tabraiz Shamsi came in for Lungi Ngidi but we expect Ngidi’s pace to be required in Perth.
