The African Challenge for India.

So finally the first big game of ICC WorldTwenty20, India Vs South Africa. Both are strong contender for the cup and have a very good record in T20 matches. Both are very consistent in T20 as per T20 standard. Both have some tailor made player for T20 in their ranks who can win matches single handedly.

India batting is obviously more strong then SA on paper but if you compare the form and T20 records then both are having equal weights. SA have a edge over India as far as All rounder is concern but on slower tracks of West indies i don't think its a issue for India. India has better slow bowler all rounders then SA. SA bowling has more fire power then India  but both the India opening bowlers are doing well.

Fielding of SA is a great advantage for them.They normally save more then 20 runs in s 20 over match, where Indian team has to work upon. So both the teams are kind of same considering the form and pitch. Only thing is who plays well on the given day and holds the nerve will beat the other.Cracker of a match is in waiting.
Lets see..
