South Africa vs India Predictions
Both sides are unbeaten in this World Cup and both have two of the best bowling attacks in the world. The batting on both sides is also power-packed, but India’s top six has performed consistently throughout the World Cup, while the Proteas' top-order form has been patchy. South Africa have the power to beat India, but India are on form and should clinch the title after a tough fight in the final.
- India’s Rohit Sharma (248 runs) is 3rd in the T20 World Cup runs list.
- India’s Suryakumar Yadav has scored 50*, 53, 31 & 47 in his last 5 innings.
- South Africa’s Quinton de Kock has scored 74 & 65 in his last 4 innings.
- South Africa’s David Miller has scored 59*, 29 & 43 in his last 6 innings.
Head-to-Head
South Africa have won three of the last five matches against India. One match was abandoned, while India won the last meeting between the two sides.
South Africa Form
South Africa made it eight wins in a row when they crushed Afghanistan in the semi-final to make it into their first Cricket World Cup final.
South Africa’s bowlers were on fire as they rolled Afghanistan for 56. Marco Jansen (3/16) knocked over the top order and Tabraiz Shamsi (3/6) wrapped up the tail.
Afghanistan’s pacemen made the Proteas work hard for the win, but Reeza Hendricks (29*) and Aiden Markram (23*) weathered the storm to ensure a nine-wicket win.
South Africa Team News
South Africa have won all eight of their matches in this World Cup, but there have been a lot of close finishes, as their brilliant batting line-up has not found the consistency they are capable of achieving.
India Form
India earned their place in the final with their seventh win in eight matches (one match was abandoned), beating England by 68 runs.
India posted 171/7 off their 20 overs off the back of another brutal Rohit Sharma innings of 57 runs off 39 balls, with great support from Suryakumar Yadav (47 off 36).
England got off to a flying start but Axar Patel (3/23) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/19) knocked over their top order. England were bowled out for 103 off 16.4 overs.
India Team News
India are in excellent form with bat and ball and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
Verdict
I am backing India to win. I am also backing Rohit Sharma to top score for India.
Quinton de Kock is a good bet to top score for South Africa.
