With all nine other entrants in the 2019 Cricket World Cup already with at least one game under their belts, the second-ranked one-day international team in the world, India, finally get their Cup competition underway, as they look for the third trophy in their history. But they face a South Africa team that has already played twice and lost both games, and so will be desperate for a victory simply to keep their Cup dreams alive. Though South Africa made it to the semifinals of the 2015 Cup tournament, as CricBuzz recounts, they fell to India in their group stage meeting in what was India’s first and only World Cup victory over the Proteas in four meetings. India will look to make it two in a row in the game that will live stream from Southampton.
