Proteas face Virtual Knockout against Allround Windes

               South Africa and Westindes have two more games under their sleeves, but it turns out to be only one when both sides face each other in the crucial encounter on Friday at Nagpur. Where the outcome of the match alters the positions in the table and so as the chances to the semi final berth.
              Proteas so far played on the flat Wankhede pitch with lot runs on offer and also not able to defend 229 against England. In the another encounter Afghanistan threaded Proteas to chase down 209, but fall short by 30 odd runs. Much to be talked about their batting performance on the postives note so far, but once again their bowlers should be aware of the tram line at both ends.
           Westindes Meanwhile got the taste to face two different surfaces unlike Proteas, where Gayle slanted his bat against England at Wankhede. In Bangalore spinners and Fletcher got them the job done restricting Lankans to a chasable total on a Turner. There is lot said much of an collective performance from the bowlers and batsmen so far from the Windes.
               Both teams doesn't lack any IPL experience, but unlike to IPL it's about adapting to different conditions in world T20 so far. For Proteas it's altogether like moving from wanderers to Nagpur, to face the typical subcontinent conditions.
              Injury to Duminy was an quite timely concern for Proteas in these conditions and at this situation, while windes are far relaxed with Gayle's fitness and performance from their spinners. But both bowling units are vary of their respective, destructive batting line ups.
              The pitch so far produced low scoring games, so as the low bounce and more turn in Qualifiers and in the opening match of super10. But know it is moved to the adjacent one with a bit of grass on it, although the seeds of spin still lies on it. With bigger dimensional of the square boundaries will be handy for spinners, unlike to than of Wankhede and Chinnaswamy.
              There is no point for an change in the Windes squad and they look to go with the same attitude as well. While Proteas need to change with injury concern, which makes a way for Phangiso and it will be a hard pick between Morris and wiese.
           So far it has been chasing at Mumbai and Bengaluru for a change at Mohali it as been the opposite with it's history. So toss gonna be crucial so as the bowling from both sides, where the Contest takes the edge to the outcome.
