India dominated Group A, finishing unbeaten with four wins and a net run rate (NRR) of 2.500. They began their campaign with a 29-run win over the USA, followed by a 93-run thrashing of Namibia. A 61-run triumph against Pakistan highlighted their supremacy, and a 17-run victory over the Netherlands in Ahmedabad ensured they topped the group.
South Africa were equally impressive in Group D, recording four wins and an NRR of 1.943. They started with a 57-run win over Canada, narrowly beat Afghanistan in a dramatic double Super Over, chased down New Zealand comfortably, and defeated UAE convincingly.
India’s opener Ishan Kishan has been in sensational form. Kishan’s rise is credited to his strong showing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which led to his superb knock against Pakistan in the group stage as well.
Arshdeep Singh returned in the previous match, and India is expected to bring back Axar Patel, who was rested to give Washington Sundar a game, strengthening the middle-order balance.

South Africa rested Lungi Ngidi in their last outing to allow Kagiso Rabada to regain rhythm and test Anrich Nortje. With Ngidi still their leading wicket-taker, he is expected to return, likely replacing one of the other fast bowlers. As this is a night game, Corbin Bosch appears more likely to make the XI over George Linde.
