India vs South Africa:
India take on South Africa in their second game at the ICC World Cup 2015 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on February 22, 2015. This is another big game for both sides, who are considered the strongest in Group B.
South Africa have beaten India in all their World Cup encounters so far and this Indian team under the leadership of MS Dhoni would want to change that. However, AB de Villiers leads a side full of dangerous players that can trump India on its day. Both sides have been very successful in One-Day Internationals (ODI) over the last few years. In fact, this is an encounter between two strong contenders for the title.
The last time India and South Africa played each other in the World Cup was during the previous edition in 2011. Despite Sachin Tendulkar’s century, South Africa fought back with Dale Steyn taking a fifer. It was India’s only defeat during that title winning run. However, this Indian team has many new faces, most of whom were a part of the side that beat South Africa during the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.
