Record within reach
Both the pacing geniuses have the chance to go past the legendary Ravichandran Ashwin as the leading wicket taker in T20 World Cups. Bumrah and Arshdeep currently have 30 wickets each and need three more to surpass Ashwin’s tally of 32 wickets in 29 matches.
Hardik Pandya is also closing in on the landmark with 29 wickets to his name and requires four more to move to the top of the chart, adding another layer of intrigue to India’s bowling story heading into the big game.
High profile Super Eight clash
India will be playing their first Super Eight fixture against South Africa in a high profile encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both sides have been consistent teams and the contest promises to be an exciting one packed with T20 superstars.
India defeated the Proteas in the previous edition’s final and South Africa will be eager to avenge that loss.
