In a much-anticipated top-of-the-table clash, India is gearing up to face South Africa in the 37th match of the tournament at Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday, November 6. The Men in Blue have maintained an impeccable record, having not conceded a single match in the tournament, while South Africa has suffered just one loss, courtesy of their encounter with the Netherlands in Dharamsala. Both teams boast a formidable lineup, capable of securing victory on the pivotal Sunday.

Although both teams have already secured a spot in the semifinals, winning at Eden Gardens could provide a psychological edge should they cross paths in the knockout stage.

Eden Gardens has already hosted two matches during the tournament, featuring the Netherlands against Bangladesh and Bangladesh against Pakistan. The upcoming clash will mark the venue's third fixture in this prestigious event.

There has been considerable speculation about the weather forecast for the match day.
