India Bank on Shami, Bumrah
Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Burah will have to suffer the most if India wants to restrict South Africa within 202. The two right-arm pacers were one of the major reasons behind the sweeping win at Centurion and given the track on offer here. Johannesburg, there’s no reason they can’t repeat it.
