IND vs SA, World Cup 2023 Match 37: Team news

Hardik Pandya has been sidelined for the rest of the tournament owing to his failure to recover from the ankle injury suffered against Bangladesh. Prasidh Krishna has joined the squad as the all-rounder’s replacement.

However, the rejig has unleashed a beast of a bowling line-up for India, with Mohammed Shami spearheading the onslaught. Shami has picked 5-54 against New Zealand, 4-22 against England and 5-18 against Sri Lanka since his late induction into the team following Pandya’s injury. Nevertheless, with Pandya ruled out of the competition, India are likely to field an unchanged XI.

South Africa might be tempted to slot in Tabraiz Shamsi, replacing one of their four pacers, if the thinktank reckons the Eden Gardens pitch will be conducive to the spinners.

Earlier, India became the first team to enter the semi-finals with a clean sheet, winning seven out of seven games. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s victory over New Zealand on November 4 has propelled South Africa to become the second team to seal a top-four spot with six wins and a solitary loss to the Netherlands.
