As for Team India's bowling, it's hard to find words to describe their excellence. Mohammed Shami, with just three matches under his belt in the 2023 World Cup, has already bagged two 5-wicket hauls and amassed 14 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav are also on top of their game.
South Africa
On the other hand, South Africa has been flawless in the tournament, with the exception of a slip-up against the Netherlands. They have won six out of seven matches, with their only loss coming in one game. Currently, they hold the second spot on the points table.
South Africa is entering this game with a massive 190-run win over New Zealand, undoubtedly boosting their morale further. The likes of Quinton de Kock and the top order have been a force to reckon with, and they are looking to continue their impressive run.
