The Inner Story : Masterclass Strategy ya sirf Aaraam?
Captain Aiden Markram ne saaf kar diya hai ki pitch thodi sust hai aur Delhi ka mausam bhi thoda unpredictable raha. Toss se thik pehle drizzle hui thi, jiski wajah se covers maidan par aaye, lekin match waqt par shuru ho raha hai. South Africa ne is match mein 4 bade badlav kiye hain. Senior players David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, aur Lungi Ngidi ko is dead-rubber match se bahar rakha gaya hai taaki wo aage ke bade matches ke liye fresh rahein.
Inki jagah team mein Anrich Nortje ki wapsi hui hai, wahi Kwena Maphaka aur Jason Smith ko is tournament mein pehli baar mauka mila hai. George Linde ko bhi playing XI mein wapas bulaya gaya hai. Udhar UAE ke captain Muhammad Waseem ne bhi team balance sahi karne ke liye Dhruv Parashar aur Muhammad Farooq ko shamil kiya hai. UAE ke liye ye is World Cup ka aakhri mauka hai ki wo kisi badi team ko thodi takkar de sakein.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Ye match ek formalities se zyada kuch nahi hai, lekin South Africa ki approach bilkul sahi hai. Jab aapka Super Eight spot confirm ho, toh apne key players ko cotton wool mein lapet kar rakhna hi samajhdari hai. Anrich Nortje ki rhythm aur Kwena Maphaka ka jazba dekhne layak hoga. Jahan Pakistan jaise teams apni best XI ke saath bhi minnows se haarne ka darr rakhti hain, wahan Proteas ka ye confidence unhein is World Cup ka asli contender banata hai. Humara prediction saaf hai: South Africa ye match asani se nikaal legi, chahe unki bench strength hi kyu na khel rahi ho.
