India come into this match on the back of a terrific victory vs the Netherlands. South Africa, on the other hand, defeated Bangladesh by 104 runs. Both teams will be high on confidence and the match promises to be an absolute cracker.
Before all the action begins, here is everything you should know about the venue of tomorrow's clash.
Pitch Report - IND vs SA
The Pitch at Perth has been supportive of the seamers in this World Cup. Sam Curran stirred up a 5-wicket haul vs Afghanistan at this very venue.
The pitch wore a tinge of green on the eve of the match and is expected to aid seamers in the first 6 overs of both innings. It won't be easy to play shots, but the batters will try and target the straight short boundaries. The average score at Perth this World Cup has been just 130.
Will Toss Matter?
As the pitch is expected to offer seam movement, the captain who wins the toss might want to bowl first and bowl the opposition out for inside 140.
Anything above 140 or 150 will be tough to chase on the pitch.
