"India's bowlers will target early wickets against South Africa, said bowling coach Morne Morkel on Friday. We know that their top order gives them that momentum, with Quinton (de Kock) and Aiden (Markram) up front in good form and hitting the ball very well, said the former South Africa quick bowler Morkel. We will definitely put our best foot forward to try and get those early wickets."
"India stormed their group to claim top spot with four wins from four. A slightly nervous start against USA was followed by a thumping 93-run win against Namibia. The game everyone had their eyes on was the latest pairing with rivals Pakistan, which resulted in a 61-run win, while the final game saw the Netherlands fall only 17 runs short of their 194 target."
