00:00 Welcome to World Cup Special Transmission powered by Spark smartphone, Food Panda and presented by Sunsilk.

00:06 I am your host, Najeeb Ulhasnain.

00:08 Today is a big game. India will take on South Africa, two of the best teams of this World Cup.

00:14 This match will be played in Kolkata. India has won a toss.

00:17 Obviously, whoever wins a toss against South Africa in this World Cup, will be the first to bat.

00:23 The pitch is looking great.

00:24 But Bahuma has taken this match as a challenge.

00:27 Obviously, they are two strong teams. Their path to the semi-final is very clear.

00:32 Both have already qualified. India had already qualified.

00:35 Now let's see what happens in this match.

00:38 The Indian team is unchanged.

00:40 In South Africa, there is one change.

00:42 Tabrez Shamsi has come in place of Gerard Kotzey.

00:45 So, he has added a spinner.

00:47 I have with me my panel. Basit Ali, Azhar Ali, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Jatt and Shahid Hashmi will be with us.

00:53 First of all, Basit, let's start with you.

00:56 Big game for both teams.

00:59 A big match in the sense that both teams are playing very well.

01:02 No doubt, both are in very good form.

01:05 But this match is for 1-0-2.

01:07 For 1-0-2, obviously.

01:09 Because before the semi-final, the semi-final is the preparation.

01:13 As you said, they have changed one thing.

01:16 Shamsi has been played well according to the ground and the pitch.

01:21 Whenever India has won a toss, it is first with bowling.

01:25 Today, the last match they batted, the other team won the toss.

01:29 Today, they have won the toss and are batting.

01:32 They know that they have to exploit their weakness.

01:35 And our Tamba sir said that this is a challenge for us.

01:40 I think both teams will do the learning process before the semi-final.

01:45 How to tackle.

01:47 It might be possible that both teams will be finalized.

01:50 Or it might be possible that the semi-final will be held.

01:53 Because the way Australia is playing is going up.

01:56 So, now we have to see which team will play the semi-final.

02:00 Najeeb or Shoaib?

02:03 Absolutely.

02:04 Whoever will play with them will win.

02:09 Vasit has raised the right point that India is not in a strong suit.

02:16 But in India, the flaw is not as clear as it is in South Africa.

02:22 Do you agree with that?

02:23 Absolutely.

02:24 They won the last match too.

02:25 They lost the toss after batting.

02:28 I don't think there is any issue with India's team.

02:31 Because it is a complete team.

02:33 They are mentally strong.

02:35 Especially in these matches.

02:38 They have lost many tournaments in the semi-final and final.

02:43 But I think India doesn't face any issues with batting or bowling.

02:49 South Africa does.

02:51 But we have to see how the pitch plays.

02:53 Sometimes the pitch is better in the night.

02:58 Sometimes it is worse in the night.

03:00 Obviously, India is the home team.

03:04 The ground man must have given the information.

03:07 How the pitch will be throughout the 100 overs.

03:10 They must have decided based on that.

03:12 They must have seen that they will have to play against their will in the knockout stage.

03:20 I think they will practice that.

03:22 Absolutely right.

03:24 Kamran, how do you see both the teams?

03:26 India is unbeaten.

03:28 South Africa lost to the Netherlands.

03:30 And the match went very close to Pakistan.

03:33 How do you feel about the match?

03:36 I think it is a great match.

03:39 Because they are the best two teams.

03:40 Number one and number two.

03:42 And today, Rohit Sharma's batting was great.

03:48 Top bowling.

03:49 How much total do you make against them?

03:51 It is the best bowling of this tournament.

03:53 And for South Africa, I think it is good that they are chasing.

03:57 The pressure they are under.

03:58 They are not able to chase.

04:02 They are batting.

04:03 So, it was important to practice before the big match.

04:06 Both the teams took a good decision for South Africa.

04:11 How to chase with that pressure.

04:13 Top bowling lineup.

04:15 They have to bat under the light.

04:17 Bowling is top.

04:18 Batting is in their form.

04:19 Let's see how they take this match.

04:21 But for both, a good match will be seen before the big match.

04:25 And they have gone on their weakness.

04:27 How much total do we have to make against top bowling.

04:29 We will find out in the India's batting lineup.

04:31 As it is in form.

04:32 And how South Africa takes the chase.

04:34 Okay.

04:35 No matter how much they chase.

04:36 Okay, Basit.

04:36 If we are saying that it is a big match.

04:38 Both the teams are obviously superior.

04:41 But isn't it a match of equality?

04:44 If South Africa would have batted first.

04:46 Can India catch them?

04:48 I think this is more important.

04:52 If they would have played on strength.

04:54 There are two things in this, Najeeb.

04:56 They know.

04:57 All the teams know that they have to chase in the weak zone.

04:59 Okay.

05:00 So, no one will win the toss and do it.

05:03 Of course.

05:03 First thing.

05:04 Second thing.

05:04 I have told you before in the lights.

05:07 Apart from Jenson, they have the same quality as India.

05:10 They do seam.

05:11 Humrah is like India.

05:13 He swings and then does seam.

05:15 His solo run is very good.

05:16 Shammi and Siraj's ball is seam.

05:18 Similarly, Rabada and Nagidi.

05:21 They are seam bowlers.

05:23 And seam bowlers do a lot of problems in the world.

05:26 Because you don't know.

05:28 You can know from the swing.

05:30 Whether he is bringing it in or out.

05:32 Just like Anderson.

05:34 And the seam.

05:35 Like Mohd Asif.

05:37 He can't catch the batsman.

05:39 After the pitch, there is a second-down time.

05:42 How much the batsman tackles.

05:44 The batsmanship is seen there.

05:46 Okay. Shahid Hashmi has joined us.

05:49 Shahid Hashmi is not with us now.

05:53 As soon as he comes, we will talk.

05:56 Shoaib, what are you seeing in this match?

05:59 Because both these teams have already reached the semi-final.

06:02 What is the difference from this match?

06:04 Before this match, I will take you to the point table.

06:07 I will talk about the preparation of both the teams.

06:10 We know that with victory, the run rate will matter a lot.

06:14 If we see Australia, which is at the third number.

06:16 It has 10 points.

06:18 Both matches seem to win.

06:21 Anything can happen in cricket.

06:23 But it should not be very difficult to control Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

06:26 If he wins the match, he will have 14 points.

06:30 Despite 14 points, he is not coming in the first or second case.

06:33 Because his run rate is a big issue.

06:35 He is stuck on the run rate.

06:37 If South Africa wins today, it will be 14 points.

06:40 If India wins, it will be 16 points.

06:42 Let's see how much the run rate matters.

06:44 This is the run rate that is causing us to this day.

06:46 May God control the damage.

06:48 And we join the semi-final race.

06:51 But how does the team come in preparation?

06:53 With victory, they know that in modern day cricket, run rate matters a lot.

06:59 Net run rate is very important.
