India should come down hard at the non-Test playing side to further signal their intent in the World Cup. Another win will easily put them well on course for the quarter-finals. India’s batting looks good with Kohli and opener Shikhar Dhawan scoring centuries in the first two games while middle-order batsmen Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahane have also been amongst runs.

The one small concern for captain MS Dhoni would be their finish. Though India batted brilliantly against both Pakistan and the Proteas, they failed to capitalise in the death overs, losing wickets and not scoring as many runs as expected after formidable starts. Both spinners and pacers have come good in the two matches, with pacer Mohammed Shami picking up a four-wicket haul against Pakistan. However, Shami has been ruled out of the match with a knee problem. The likely replacement will be either medium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar or all-rounder Stuart Binny. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel might get a chance too. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: SCHEDULE & MATCH DETAILS
