The 37th game of World Cup 2023 between India and South Africa was expected to be a cracking game between two table-toppers at the Eden Gardens. However, just like other teams, South Africa are also falling apart in their run-chase and have been reduced to 40-5. 

Two of those wickets was taken by Ravindra Jadeja with his beautiful crafty spin bowling. He first got rid of Temba Bavuma and then got the big wicket of Heinrich Klaasen as well. Those two wickets were big blow to South Africa and with 327 needed to win the game, the match looks done and dusted already.

Klaasen's wicket was the fourth wicket to fall when Jadeja bowled a fuller delivery on middle. Klaasen though tried to sweep it and missed it completely as the ball hit his pads on the line. A big appeal followed and but the umpire was not interested. Jadeja and KL Rahul though persuaded Rohit Sharma to take the DRS and the Ball Tracking showed three red, bringing a loud cheer in jam-packed Eden Gardens. Klaasen could score only one run in 11 balls and clearly, South Africa need to improve their game while chasing, if they want to win semi-final and lift the trophy.

Now, with Miller and Marco Jansen at the crease, South Africa have a mountain to climb if they want to win this game.
