India vs South Africa Match Preview

Both India and South Africa boast perfect 4–0 records from their respective group stages. The Men in Blue secured their Super 8 spot with a string of dominant performances, concluding their group run with a 17-run victory over the Netherlands. However, the Indian camp has acknowledged that their batting unit will need to improve its returns against spin, an area that has proved somewhat challenging on the tournament's varied surfaces thus far.

South Africa arrive with strong momentum and a crucial geographical advantage. The Proteas have already played three of their four group matches at the Ahmedabad venue, gaining valuable familiarity with the pitch conditions. Their campaign included a thrilling double Super Over victory against Afghanistan, proving their composure in high-pressure situations.
