Team Analysis
The Indian team has qualified for the Finals of this International tournament after 10 years and Indian cricket fans are on their toes at the potential prospect of winning this World Cup. Rohit Sharma or commonly called as, ‘the hitman’, is in excellent form and is expected to perform well for his team in this high-yield encounter. Sharma plays at a strike rate of 140.82 in T20Is and is known to provide a fiery start to his team’s batting innings.
India also have a number of quality all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel. Both players have demonstrated quality performances in recent matches and are key impact players from the Indian side. However, a weak link in the Indian line-up is the consistent poor performances by their star batsman, Virat Kohli. For Virat, this T20 World Cup is nothing short of a nightmare as he only managed to score in double figures in a match.
For the South African team, playing in the finals will be nothing short of an emotional affair as this will be their 1st time as top two finalists. We expect to see a mighty performance by the Proteas as they truly challenge the Indian team. Talented bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, and Lungi Ngidi are the key strength of the African team in this encounter. These players possess the capability to limit the Indian batsman to a low total, provided that India bats first.
