IND vs SA: Indian and South African fighters will clash in an epic showdown that could determine who tops the points table.
Team India is going to Kolkata for their next ICC Cricket World Cup game against South Africa at Eden Gardens (IND vs SA). This matchup will take place on Sunday, November 5, which is Virat Kohli’s birthday!
The Indian team was victorious at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday and won their World Cup 2023 semifinal.
At the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, India’s performance against Sri Lanka, where records fell, made headlines for statisticians.
Rohit Sharma and company scored 357/8 before dominating Sri Lanka by only 55 runs – this resulted in their victory by 302 runs, making this margin of victory the largest ever recorded at an ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup tournament.
This margin ranks second-largest in tournament history and falls just seven runs shy of Australia’s 30-run margin against Netherlands a week prior.
Men’s One-Day Internationals have seen few instances in which such an overwhelming margin by runs defeated teams: Zimbabwe’s 304-run win against USA this June, Australia’s 309-run victory over the Netherlands earlier in the competition, and India’s 317-run destruction of Sri Lanka in Jan 2023 are the three exceptions to this rule.
Men’s One-Day Internationals saw four of their highest margins ever in 2023
All eyes will now turn towards the showdown between South Africa and India on Sunday, November 5, for what promises to be the defining match of this tournament. Both teams will be eager to secure another victory after both had impressive wins recently:
South Africa beat New Zealand by an astounding margin of 190 runs; India crushed Sri Lanka by 302 runs – no team will underestimate their opponent, and they will play carefully and strategically to win their respective battles.
Head-To-Head
India and South Africa played 90 ODIs, in which India won 37 and South Africa 50. Both teams have faced each other five times in the ODI World Cup. South Africa has won three games, while India has won two.
Weather Conditions
Kolkata’s weather is predicted to be 33 degrees C, with 51% humidity and a chance of 4% rain.
Next Assignment for Rohit Sharma and Co. – IND vs SA
India and South Africa will face off in what promises to be an epic clash that could decide who stands atop the points table in World Cup 2015.
Men in Blue, who have won seven games straight thus far, will face off against a Proteas team who recently suffered their only defeat against Netherlands at Dharamshala. Rohit Sharma & Co. will take on the challenge of India’s oldest stadium.
