IND vs SA Dream11 8th Match Prediction | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 | India vs South Africa 8th Match Preview | Who Will Win Today Match

Southampton, June 05, Wednesday at 03:00 PM IST

The Men in Blue are gearing up in Southampton for their first game against South Africa to be played at The Rose Bowl on Wednesday afternoon.  India is the only side that hasn’t played a single game in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 and look desperate for a win in the opening encounter.

On the other hand, South Africa have lost both their opening games. Another loss here will only add to their agony as each team needs to win at least six encounters to cement their place in the next round. South Africa faced 104 runs defeat against England in the tournament opener before going down by 21 runs against Bangladesh in the second encounter.

The match starts at 03:00 PM IST.
