Latest Ground report on Weather from Perth
Even though the rain chances have become less but if the sky remains cloudy, the pitch conditions will favour the fast bowlers. The Perth stadium has good bounce and speed and the tall South African bowlers can trouble the Indian batters. The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen can be a threat to any opposition in these conditions. Also, India's Mohammed Shami, who hits the deck hard and has a brilliant seam, can also be a nemesis for any opposition in conditions like these.
When India take on South Africa, it will be nothing short of a sporting spectacle as the fight between bat and the ball is likely to take a new level. If India win this match, they will walk closer to the spot for the semifinal
