South Africa vs India prediction

South Africa would draw level on points with India by beating them at Old Trafford and realistically, the Proteas need to do just that if they are to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals with Australia now well clear at the top of Group A. India though, have done as well as expected so far, winning two from two and piling up over 200 runs against Netherlands.

Whilst South Africa edged past Pakistan by two wickets, they did not look convincing and to be quite frank, they’ve underperformed so far in this tournament. India have played far better cricket and have to be favoured to get the better of South Africa, whom they defeated to win the 50-over World Cup last November.

South Africa vs India tip: India to win
