Indian spin trio Ashwin, Jadeja and Mishra is in its best form and the middle order is also contributing in the team's winning streak. Yuvraj Singh is facing an injury before the crucial face-off and has been a worry for for India. While Dhoni is facing a dilemma over selection that whether to retain Ajinkya Rahane in place of out of form Shikhar Dhawan and Mohit Sharma who replaced Mohammad Shami in the last match against Australia.
The South Africans, after losing their first game against Sri Lanka they fought back, came harder and achieved victory in all three remaining games. With A.B. de Villiers and J.P. Duminy in attacking form, they may be threat to Indian bowling attack. However the proteas are also facing the problem of opening pair who can give them a solid start.
