South Africa to pull off a shock to claim qualification

India come into this match knowing their place in the semi-finals are secure, having won all seven of their matches so far. They could become complacent but they’ll still be keen to finish top of the group on home soil.

South Africa have been able to overcome their shock loss to Netherlands, winning their six other matches at the tournament and it would be a big statement of intent if they were able to defeat the might India and seal their own place in the final four.

India come into the match as favourites but South Africa have the onus on them to pick up the win and we’re backing them to pull off a shock.
