India will take on South Africa in Southampton in the ICC Cricket World Cup at 3 PM today. In another match of the day, Bangladesh will take on New Zealand at London at 6 p.m. Indian Standard Time. India had a mixed bag in the warm-up matches, losing to New Zealand before battering Bangladesh.
If the current ICC ODI Team Rankings are any indication, India at the No 2 position are heavy favourites to lift the title and add to their previous victories in 1983 and 2011. The all-round abilities of the 15-man squad seem to reinforce the notion that this India side, under the leadership of Virat Kohli, will be the side to beat.
