On 6th November at the Eden Gardens, it is going to be an eventful test match between India vs South Africa the arch rivals. Everything is already prepared, much hangs in balance, the fans are at the edge of the seat.
India has not lost one single match, unlike South Africa’s one slip-up against the Dutch in Dharamsala. The two sides are highly endowed, ready to turn tables on each other.
Both squads have already earned themselves a place in the semifinals so it is not all about the point. It’s the battle of mind over matter, a sneak preview of the possible round of sixteen.
The third match will be played in Eden Gardens that had a significant contribution to the cricketing past. These are all indications of a mouth-watering encounter as the stadium has already seen several intense showdowns that should not be any less.
The forecast, however, is like an ominous cloud hanging over it. Weather.com states that only 10% probability of shower is expected in kolkata on sunday, meaning an interruption free 50 over extravaganza. However, the relative humidities that may vary within this narrow interval are likely to result in special problems for both sides.
As the cricketing world holds its breath, one question lingers: Will the rain deny us of another exciting top-of the-table encounter between two giant national cricket teams of India and Australia or will these two cricketing giants slug it out beneath under the heat of Kolkata sun? This match will likely be memorable; only time will reveal.
