Indias dream of World cup glory is over. Their last match is against South Africa who have made it to the semies. South Africa would like to continue their winning run and go in as favourites in the semies. So with pride on the line will India come out on top.
I think they will. Theyll probably be relaxed this time and I am sure they would have worked out some thing to deal with the short pitched bowling being dished out at them.

It will be fitting end to India's campaign if they beat South Africa and South Africa goes onto win a major World Title for the first time.
That will show two things. South Africa got defeated by only India. And India defeated the champs so they are still one of the top teams.
Hope that happens!

I was hoping that India defeated South Africa and prove a point that they are still a powerhouse. Unfortunately things did not turn out as planned. South Africa were on a roll playing brilliant cricket, but now their campaign has been ended by Pakistan. I was hoping they go on and win, but anyway there is always next time.

It is difficult. South Africa is the strongest team in the tournament. They have a very good batting line-up and great bowling attack. If South Africans had watched India's matches against West Indies and England, they would know how to bowl to India. Dale Steyn and Wayne Parnell are bowling extremely well. Roelof van der Merwe and Botha are difficult to get away.
So, it is going to be a tough one. But, India can come strongly. They have a point to prove. Of course, South Africa too have a point, since India eliminated them in 2007. Hopefully, we have a good, gripping contest.

It is a match that is of no value now. To India at least. But are we still seeing dreams? they can never beat South Africa. When they have done the debacle against WI and England, how can we expect them to play well against SA? they are unbeaten till now in this WC.
