Today we can say is the first interesting match of this season ICC T20 World Cup as both the teams are strong and are favourite for this tournament. Its a match between India and South Africa at Beausejour Stadium, St Lucia. We cannot judge this Indian team by their last match performance as the match can be termed as a clash between the non-equals. Their batting and bowling line-up seem to be in reasonable form. The only worry for India is the form of Yuvraj Singh and Yusuf Pathan as both these batsman has not been consistent with their performance. On the other side South Africa had numerous heartbreaking exits over the years from international tournaments, they must be looking at the shortest format as the best opportunity to shed their ‘Chokers’ tag. They also have a good batting line-up and some fearsome striker on their side. So its tough one to pick one side because both these teams have depth and quality.
