In one of the most awaited contests of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, India take on South Africa and the winner will lead the Pool B points table. India has never beaten South Africa in any World Cup match.

Both sides have played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in recent months, and know what the challenges the stadium presents, especially with the huge square boundaries. Once again it’s Indian fans who are expected to fill up most of the four tiers and it’s a day when Twitter is once again set to explode.

India Vs South Africa Highlights #IndvsSA

Wonderful batting from Dhawan and Rahane, and a good contribution from Kohli as well, to set India up. They lost a clump of wickets towards the end, and maybe didn’t get as many as they could have, but 307 is still a very good score. South Africa have an excellent batting line-up, of course, so this should be a great chase to watch.

Big picture

This is the second of India’s two high-profile group matches before they move on to less fancied sides. The Pakistan match was, for sure, the one with greater pressure, and India came through with a comprehensive performance – they started strongly with the bat, and despite a poor last five overs, had more than enough on the board in the end.

South Africa, on the other hand, lost their top four cheaply against Zimbabwe, but recovered to post 339. Zimbabwe were 137 for 1 before losing steam in the chase. The margin of victory was comfortable eventually, but it is India who will have taken more confidence from their opening match against their biggest rivals.

Both sides have played at the MCG in recent months, and will be aware of the challenges it poses, such as the large square boundaries. There will be a massive turnout too in all four tiers of the stands, mostly in favour of India with their fans having travelled from across the world to watch the Pakistan and South Africa games especially and Allan Donald recognised that by terming it a “home” game for India.

The match may not have a lot of bearing on qualification for the knockouts, but it has been one of the clashes to look forward to in the group stage. Both teams and players have seen a lot of each other in recent times, including in the IPL. As AB de Villiers said, they respect each other, but know the relative strengths and weaknesses only too well.

Form guide

India: WLLLW

South Africa: WWLWW

In the spotlight

The last time India played at the MCG, a month ago, Rohit Sharma made 138 and missed the rest of the tri-series with a sore hamstring. He returned with 150 against Afghanistan in a warm-up game but could not build on a start against Pakistan. The Champions Trophy encounter between the two sides in June 2013 was the start of the Rohit-Dhawan opening partnership, and his team wouldn’t mind a repeat.

AB de Villiers had a start against Zimbabwe too, but left South Africa in a tricky position at 83 for 4 before David Miller and JP Duminy made centuries. Virat Kohli said the kind of freakish shots de Villiers is capable of playing can easily make the opposition’s bowling plans go wrong. The only time he has played an ODI at the MCG, de Villiers hit 91 off 88 last November.

Teams news

After trying out various combinations during the triangular one-day series, India went back to their three fast bowlers-two spinners attack against Pakistan, and they should stick to that, although Stuart Binny had a heavy workload during training on Friday.

India (probable) 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Ajinkya Rahane, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Mohammed Shami, 10 Mohit Sharma, 11 Umesh Yadav

AB de Villiers said there were zero chances of South Africa going for an all-pace attack, and backedImran Tahir to play.

South Africa (probable): 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Hashim Amla, 3 Faf du Plessis, 4 AB de Villiers(capt), 5 David Miller, 6 JP Duminy, 7 Farhaan Behardien, 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Dale Steyn, 10Morne Morkel, 11 Imran Tahir

Pitch and conditions

De Villiers said that the surface for South Africa’s ODI against Australia at the MCG last November was one of the slowest he had played on. Virat Kohli said there would be some pace and bounce. Those opinions also tell you about the conditions the two players call home. There have been three ODIs here in the past four months. Australia chased down 270-odd twice, and racked up an insurmountable 342 in the third. There was a brief shower in Melbourne on the eve of the match, but weather is likely to clear tomorrow with a high in the mid-thirty degrees.

Stats and trivia

  • India have lost three out of three to South Africa in the World Cup, although they have won three out of three against the same opponents in the Champions Trophy, including two semi-finals
  • The sides have met just once before in Australia, in the 1992 World Cup in Adelaide

Quote

“South Africa are one of the top sides in the world. They have a good balance of batting and bowling, and their fielding has raised standards in international cricket. To get over that hurdle tomorrow will be an immense self-belief booster for us.”
Virat Kohli

“I’m pretty happy that it’s going to be packed. The last few games I played here it wasn’t full, and it almost feels wrong in a way. You almost get lost in the middle out there, it’s so big. ”
AB de Villiers on the MCG

Twitter War : #IndvsSA #IndiaWins

#IndvsSA Here’s A Twitter War India Just Won

You must have already seen the Indian vs South Africa ‘mauka mauka’ ads and the kickass response videos by Indian fans. While the anticipation of a win on Sunday is getting everyone pumped up, we found that a fun battle on Twitter has already been waged.

So while you’re waiting for the real match to start, here’s one India vs SA battle you can follow:

Kitkat India tagged Kitkat South Africa in this friendly tweet

 

To that, Kitkat South Africa replied teasing India with the ‘Mauka mauka’ reference

Ouch!

 

But, India pulled an awesome comeback with this one

Burrrn!!

 

The friendly banter ended on a calmer note (maybe because both the handles are from the same brand)

 and India came back with a triumphant reply
https://twitter.com/KitKatIndia/status/568749403076317184
Their bosses must be like, “Bas kar pagle, have a break, have a KitKat”Let’s wait and watch to either witness history being made or repeated. I don’t know who’ll have the last laugh, but #WeWontGiveItBack.

Spoof Of Virat Kohli Reacting To ‘Mauka Mauka’

A recent Cricket World Cup commercial about Indians playing against South Africans became a rage because it did one thing nobody should do – Indians ki khuddari ko lalkarna.  So what if we haven’t won a match against them in the world cup yet? We will win it this time.

We thought we had already given the perfect response until Shudh Desi Endings came up with this spoof video of the perfect response that should have been given.
