00:00 Welcome to World Cup Special Transmission powered by Spark smartphone, Food Panda and presented by Sunsilk.
00:06 I am your host, Najeeb Ulhasnain.
00:08 Today is a big game. India will take on South Africa, two of the best teams of this World Cup.
00:14 This match will be played in Kolkata. India has won a toss.
00:17 Obviously, whoever wins a toss against South Africa in this World Cup, will be the first to bat.
00:23 The pitch is looking great.
00:24 But Bahuma has taken this match as a challenge.
00:27 Obviously, they are two strong teams. Their path to the semi-final is very clear.
00:32 Both have already qualified. India had already qualified.
00:35 Now let's see what happens in this match.
00:38 The Indian team is unchanged.
00:40 In South Africa, there is one change.
00:42 Tabrez Shamsi has come in place of Gerard Kotzey.
00:45 So, he has added a spinner.
00:47 I have with me my panel. Basit Ali, Azhar Ali, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Jatt and Shahid Hashmi will be with us.
00:53 First of all, Basit, let's start with you.
00:56 Big game for both teams.
00:59 A big match in the sense that both teams are playing very well.
01:02 No doubt, both are in very good form.
01:05 But this match is for 1-0-2.
01:07 For 1-0-2, obviously.
01:09 Because before the semi-final, the semi-final is the preparation.
01:13 As you said, they have changed one thing.
01:16 Shamsi has been played well according to the ground and the pitch.
01:21 Whenever India has won a toss, it is first with bowling.
01:25 Today, the last match they batted, the other team won the toss.
01:29 Today, they have won the toss and are batting.
01:32 They know that they have to exploit their weakness.
01:35 And our Tamba sir said that this is a challenge for us.
01:40 I think both teams will do the learning process before the semi-final.
01:45 How to tackle.
01:47 It might be possible that both teams will be finalized.
01:50 Or it might be possible that the semi-final will be held.
01:53 Because the way Australia is playing is going up.
01:56 So, now we have to see which team will play the semi-final.
02:00 Najeeb or Shoaib?
02:03 Absolutely.
02:04 Whoever will play with them will win.
02:09 Vasit has raised the right point that India is not in a strong suit.
02:16 But in India, the flaw is not as clear as it is in South Africa.
02:22 Do you agree with that?
02:23 Absolutely.
02:24 They won the last match too.
02:25 They lost the toss after batting.
02:28 I don't think there is any issue with India's team.
02:31 Because it is a complete team.
02:33 They are mentally strong.
02:35 Especially in these matches.
02:38 They have lost many tournaments in the semi-final and final.
02:43 But I think India doesn't face any issues with batting or bowling.
02:49 South Africa does.
02:51 But we have to see how the pitch plays.
02:53 Sometimes the pitch is better in the night.
02:58 Sometimes it is worse in the night.
03:00 Obviously, India is the home team.
03:04 The ground man must have given the information.
03:07 How the pitch will be throughout the 100 overs.
03:10 They must have decided based on that.
03:12 They must have seen that they will have to play against their will in the knockout stage.
03:20 I think they will practice that.
03:22 Absolutely right.
03:24 Kamran, how do you see both the teams?
03:26 India is unbeaten.
03:28 South Africa lost to the Netherlands.
03:30 And the match went very close to Pakistan.
03:33 How do you feel about the match?
03:36 I think it is a great match.
03:39 Because they are the best two teams.
03:40 Number one and number two.
03:42 And today, Rohit Sharma's batting was great.
03:48 Top bowling.
03:49 How much total do you make against them?
03:51 It is the best bowling of this tournament.
03:53 And for South Africa, I think it is good that they are chasing.
03:57 The pressure they are under.
03:58 They are not able to chase.
04:02 They are batting.
04:03 So, it was important to practice before the big match.
04:06 Both the teams took a good decision for South Africa.
04:11 How to chase with that pressure.
04:13 Top bowling lineup.
04:15 They have to bat under the light.
04:17 Bowling is top.
04:18 Batting is in their form.
04:19 Let's see how they take this match.
04:21 But for both, a good match will be seen before the big match.
04:25 And they have gone on their weakness.
04:27 How much total do we have to make against top bowling.
04:29 We will find out in the India's batting lineup.
04:31 As it is in form.
04:32 And how South Africa takes the chase.
04:34 Okay.
04:35 No matter how much they chase.
04:36 Okay, Basit.
04:36 If we are saying that it is a big match.
04:38 Both the teams are obviously superior.
04:41 But isn't it a match of equality?
04:44 If South Africa would have batted first.
04:46 Can India catch them?
04:48 I think this is more important.
04:52 If they would have played on strength.
04:54 There are two things in this, Najeeb.
04:56 They know.
04:57 All the teams know that they have to chase in the weak zone.
04:59 Okay.
05:00 So, no one will win the toss and do it.
05:03 Of course.
05:03 First thing.
05:04 Second thing.
05:04 I have told you before in the lights.
05:07 Apart from Jenson, they have the same quality as India.
05:10 They do seam.
05:11 Humrah is like India.
05:13 He swings and then does seam.
05:15 His solo run is very good.
05:16 Shammi and Siraj's ball is seam.
05:18 Similarly, Rabada and Nagidi.
05:21 They are seam bowlers.
05:23 And seam bowlers do a lot of problems in the world.
05:26 Because you don't know.
05:28 You can know from the swing.
05:30 Whether he is bringing it in or out.
05:32 Just like Anderson.
05:34 And the seam.
05:35 Like Mohd Asif.
05:37 He can't catch the batsman.
05:39 After the pitch, there is a second-down time.
05:42 How much the batsman tackles.
05:44 The batsmanship is seen there.
05:46 Okay. Shahid Hashmi has joined us.
05:49 Shahid Hashmi is not with us now.
05:53 As soon as he comes, we will talk.
05:56 Shoaib, what are you seeing in this match?
05:59 Because both these teams have already reached the semi-final.
06:02 What is the difference from this match?
06:04 Before this match, I will take you to the point table.
06:07 I will talk about the preparation of both the teams.
06:10 We know that with victory, the run rate will matter a lot.
06:14 If we see Australia, which is at the third number.
06:16 It has 10 points.
06:18 Both matches seem to win.
06:21 Anything can happen in cricket.
06:23 But it should not be very difficult to control Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
06:26 If he wins the match, he will have 14 points.
06:30 Despite 14 points, he is not coming in the first or second case.
06:33 Because his run rate is a big issue.
06:35 He is stuck on the run rate.
06:37 If South Africa wins today, it will be 14 points.
06:40 If India wins, it will be 16 points.
06:42 Let's see how much the run rate matters.
06:44 This is the run rate that is causing us to this day.
06:46 May God control the damage.
06:48 And we join the semi-final race.
06:51 But how does the team come in preparation?
06:53 With victory, they know that in modern day cricket, run rate matters a lot.
06:59 Net run rate is very important.
