While the Men in Blue are coming after a dominating 302-run win over Sri Lanka in their last fixture, the Temba Bavuma-led side beat New Zealand by 190 runs and are second after India to qualify for the semifinals after the result going in Pakistan’s favour on Saturday, 4 November. Talking about the head-to-head stats, India has come out victorious only in the last two matches played between the two teams, whereas South Africa have dominated with 3-2 record in their favour.
But as they take on each other in the much-hyped clash of the tournament, preferable seeing their campaign at the ongoing World Cup, rain might come into picture with Kolkata witnessing some early showers this morning. As listed by Accuweather, the day has four per cent probability of precipitation with 99 per cent cloud cover. However, the cloud cover might come down to less than 25 per cent at night, the probability of precipitation also drops by a per cent.
Moreover, the day is likely to be humid and hazy with regular intervention of clouds. But if the rain pours heavily, the match might see some halts with the overs also cut short.
