A
total of four questions were posed to Shreyas Iyer at the post-match
presser in Mohali, three out of them being about the biggest collapse in
the history of IPL. If Iyer really had the answers, Delhi Capitals
would now be sitting at the top of the table with four out of four wins.
They don't, and "right now have broken hearts," according to Mohammad
Kaif.
There's
a somber atmosphere around the South African camp on the eve of their
game against India. When it rains it pours, as the saying goes. Dale
Steyn being ruled out has forced them to reconsider their plans for the
World Cup as skipper Faf du Plessis admitted. Lungi Ngidi, too, is out
for at least ten days. That means that one of the few teams hinging on a
bowling-first plan in the World Cup will now turn to its all-rounders
to cover up the gaps.
It
will be a test of temperament for the youngsters like Hasan Ali and
Shaheen Shah Afridi, who have hardly bowled to the world's best batsman.
The Old Trafford looks good for batting even though conditions will aid both seam and swing.
India's
middle-order will have a role to play in the game. Dinesh Karthik's
experience was supposedly the choice of the team management in the last
game but that was factoring in a curtailed game.
In
the case of a full game, Vijay Shankar could be the No 4 if India wants
a few overs of seam-up stuff from him or else stick to Karthik, who has
more experience of pressure situations.
The
seaming conditions and Pakistan's comfort against spinners might prompt
Kohli to drop one among Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav and go for
Mohammed Shami, who could be devastating in these conditions.
PROBABLE XIs
India:
Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (c), Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni (w),
Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra
Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar would like to bowl that probing off-stump line which can keep opposition best bet Babar Azam at bay.
Mohammed Hafeez's years of experience will be up against Hardik Pandya's panache.
Last but not the least, India's 'Man of all seasons' Mahendra Singh Dhoni
will "lead" from the back and that will be the team's trump card.
When: July 9, 2019, at 3:00 pm Local Time, 15:00 IST
Where: The Ageas Bowl, Southampton
What
to expect: Conditions are chilly and the morning start could mean that
there'll be something for the pacers early on. Rain is forecast on the
match day, so you could expect a few stoppages
Will
it be Bhuvneshwar Kumar or Mohammed Shami as India's second pacer?
That's the million dollar question ahead of the game. The No. 4
question, meanwhile, has been put to rest by KL Rahul hundred in the
warm-up and Kedar Jadhav's return to full fitness. Bhuvneshwar could
have an edge going into this game if India prefers two wrist spinners
against South Africa, against whom they've had success before.
