ICC ODI World Cup hosts India will be taking on South Africa in an epic clash this Sunday. Both teams are currently on a phenomenal run in the tournament securing the top two spots on the table.
India are the only undefeated team in the competition with seven wins on the trot. Starting with a well-fought victory against Australia, India have managed to take down several big teams on the way including the likes of Pakistan, New Zealand and England.

In their last match, India recorded one of the most dominant wins in World Cup history after beating Sri Lanka by 302 runs. Indian pacers showed up on the day as Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami combined for eight wickets.
The hosts will now be looking to extend their winning run against a dominant South African side in their upcoming fixture.
The match will take place at the massive Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata on November 5.
South Africa have conceded only a single defeat in their seven games at the World Cup. The Temba Bavuma-led side was able to take down last year’s finalists New Zealand by 190 runs in their previous game, establishing themselves as potential title winners. A win against the hosts will only solidify their case.

At the World Cup, the two teams have squared off for a total of five times. South Africa have won on three of those occasions while India have managed two wins.
