India will be playing their third game of the Super 12 stage against South Africa in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
After winning against Pakistan in the first match, India hunted down the Netherlands by 56 runs in the second game. Having won 2 matches in 2 games, they are currently the table-toppers in the Super 12 stage and will be taking on the field once again to strike a hat-trick of wins.
South Africa has had an unfortunate start to the tournament as their first game got abandoned due to rain. However, they defeated Bangladesh by 104 runs in the second game. They are currently standing second to India on the points table.
This will be a crucial game for both of these teams as the fate of this game will decide the fate of other teams in Group 2 as well. Considering the team combinations, another cracking contest is expected on Sunday.
Weather:
The temperature is expected to hover around 16°C on the matchday with 49% humidity and 34 km/hr wind speed. There is 11% chance of precipitation during the game.
Pitch:
Perth pitch could be flatter, though pace bowlers can expect some assistance from the deck later on in the game. It is generally regarded as a batting-friendly surface, and the same is expected for this match as well. This track provides little assistance to the spinners.
