India to take on formidable SAfrica in second warm-up match

India to take on formidable SAfrica in second warm-up match

Mumbai, Mar 12 (UNI) Ahead of the tournament opener against New Zealand in Nagpur, India is all set to face South Africa in their final ICC World T20 warm-up game here tomorrow. India have been on a red hot form in the shortest form of the game. They then went on to win the Asia Cup after outplaying Sri Lanka 2-1 in the home series. The practice match against South Africa appears to be more important for them as they had lost to the same country 0-2 in a best-of-three matches before turning it around in the T20 format in Australia. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in terrific form, the hosts have the batsmen to tackle the Proteas who too have some big-hitting match winners. In the last warm up game against West Indies, the Mahendra Singh Dhoni experimented when he gave the ball to two off-spinners R Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh to open the attack, however, It did not work as the duo went for a lot of runs when the field restrictions were on. The good thing for India was the return of Mohammed Shami who, along with veteran Ashish Nehra and rookie Jasprit Bumrah, gives a better look to the new ball attack. On the other hand, South Africa too would be looking to go into the tournament on a positive note by beating the hosts. UNI XC-GAU TBA 1954
