Tomorrow’s India vs South Africa World Cup is no David vs Goliath clash at the Melbourne Cricket Club, but it’s a game in which India will be tested the most. Mahendra Singh Dhoni & Co will have to use every ounce of their ability to beat South Africa at the iconic venue.

In a way, India face a similar situation with South Africa as Pakistan did before the February 15 clash in Adelaide no World Cup win to show. In 1992, Mohammed Azharuddin’s men were outwitted by the World Cup debutants in Adelaide by six wickets. In 1999 at Hove, his team’s total of 253 was not enough to scare Hansie Cronje’s well-oiled outfit, and in the last World Cup, India’s only bump en route their triumph came in the form of the Proteas in Nagpur, where Sachin Tendulkar’s century went in vain.
