IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction for Today's Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 37, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

It’s going to be a super Sunday as the top two teams of the World Cup – India and South Africa will lock horns against each other in the 37th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both India and South Africa are sitting comfortably at the 1st and 2nd position in the points table respectively.

India has qualified for the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup and South Africa is also on the verge of qualifying, therefore the result of the match won’t have much bearing on the qualification scenarios of both these teams. But it is a clash of the titans and the team winning this encounter would be brimming with confidence when they reach the knockout stages of the tournament and would have an edge over the other team if they encounter each other in the knockouts.

When you are approaching the business end of a tournament, you don’t want to lose your momentum and also whichever team wins this match will most probably finish at the first spot at the end of the round matches which could prove to be an advantage as they will face the team qualifying at the 4th spot in the semi-finals.
