South Africa would be no pushovers after their clinical show against England, and India too would be high-in-confidence after the well-fought win over the mighty Australians. The match will take place on November 2 at the DY Patil stadium. In that game, India given their morale after the win over Australia would start slight favourites. For the unversed, both teams have never won the WC silverware, which means the world will have a new champion.
