With the ball, they were just as ruthless as they had been with the bat.Īll of Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Ashwin, Axar Patel and Bhuvi Kumar helped themselves to two wickets each in a thoroughly professional display that the other favourites to win the World Cup will have taken note of. It goes a long way to explaining why he was man-of-the-match given that it was the innings that really meant that there were far too many runs for the Netherlands to chase. There were half-centuries for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Sky Yadav, the latter the pick of the three given he scored his 51 off just 25 balls, at a much better strike rate than the others. Sometimes after a huge win under the utmost pressure, it’s easy to get complacent and take your foot off the pedal.īut there was no such thing in India’s match against the Netherlands after that last-gasp win over Pakistan on Sunday. SA do of course have that Bavuma issue (see SA recent form) to deal with and if they do carry on playing him, it’s a negative.īut that alone won’t put us off going with SA at really attractive odds.Īnd if you haven’t read it already, here’s our BlueChip review.

You could argue that with the absences of Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah for India, they’re not at their best with the ball, while SA have all their best bowlers available. Yes, India have a good record against SA (13-9) and won four matches to South Africa’s three across the seven games they played against each other in 2022.īut it’s worth pointing out those seven games were in India and that there really hasn’t been much between these two sides, who look like two of the more competitive and better-balanced teams at this World Cup.Īll of this means that if two sides are well-matched on paper, then it makes sense to go with the outsider in what is pretty close to a 50/50 game.Īnd they’re not just marginal outsiders but 2.44 outsiders, which looks a pretty decent price indeed.

And they did the same sort of job on Bangladesh that India did on the Netherlands. It’s true that India (well, Virat Kohli) showed huge nerves to get over the line against Pakistan and that they were ruthless against the Netherlands with both bat and ball.īut it’s also true that it wasn’t South Africa’s fault that their match against Zimbabwe was rained off when they were very much in a winning position.
