South Africa have set India a target of 228 to win their first match at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Earlier, South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first, but they will be disappointed with their effort. The India vs South Africa match is the eighth match of this World Cup, but India's first in the tournament. South Africa are under pressure in today's match, having lost their opening two World Cup games, making the Southampton encounter a virtual must-win for the Proteas. Neutrals, though, will be hoping for a close contest in the India vs South Africa match, with many one-sided encounters already in the tournament so far.
The ICC Cricket World Cup will go on for a month-and-a-half as all 10 teams — Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and West Indies being the other eight — playing each other to determine the winners.
