In recent times, Johannesburg’s New Wanderers has earned a reputation for high-scoring affairs, Sunday’s clash between South Africa and India promises to be no different. Both teams can expect a batting paradise, but the toss could be crucial. Since, chasing has proven more successful at the Wanderers, captains may opt to bowl first. Seam will obviously play a crucial role but South Africa will need to be wary of India’s potent spin duo, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, who’ve troubled them in the past.
