India vs South Africa World Twenty20

Watch India vs South Africa World Twenty20 Live Streaming Online for free. M Vijay, the late replacement for Virender Sehwag, got his Twenty20 international career off to a good start with 48 against Afghanistan, but the big test of how well India are doing without Sehwag will come against a strong team like South Africa.

India have experienced the pace of the pitches and will bowl a lot of slow bowlers against a side not known to be the best against the spinners. In that scenario, AB de Villiers' quick foot work and soft hands will come in handy to ensure South Africa don't stall in the middle overs.

Pakistan's middle order is bare, so much will depend on Umar Akmal, their batting discovery of the last year. He hasn't quite exploded in the format just yet, but his skills are far too well-rounded for that to remain the case. He has the shots and the head and a couple of handy innings in the Champions Trophy last year hinted at a temperament for the big stage.

Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal (wk), Shahid Afridi (capt), Umar Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq, Fawad Alam, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Aamer, Mohammad Asif, Saeed Ajmal

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Mohammad Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed, Mahmudullah, Naeem Islam, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Mashrafe Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Syed Rasel.
