Salman Butt: India’s Upcoming Series Against South Africa tour Will Be a Tough One
Salman expressed his opinion that Rohit Sharma and team would advance into the 2022 T20 World Cup thanks to their T20I matches against Australia and South Africa as preparation. In the video he stated:
“India’s upcoming series against South Africa will be a tough one.
It will be a highly contested series if South Africa play their full-strength team. “It will be an ideal way to prepare for the T20 World Cup because of the strong bowling lineups. Both Australia and South Africa are among the top bowling lineups in the world.”
In three T20Is and as many ODIs in September and October, India and South Africa will square off. On September 28, the first match of the T20I rubber will be played at Thiruvananthapuram.
Following their amazing 2-1 series triumph against Australia, the Rohit Sharma-led team will be filled with confidence. They might benefit greatly from a win over South Africa as they try to build some momentum before the main event.
Salman Butt Praises Indian Pitches Used During Series Against Australia
India received praise from Salman Butt for constructing pace-friendly wickets during their most recent home series. He emphasized that these are the types of playing grounds that are anticipated in Australia for the T20 World Cup.
The former Pakistani opener also brought up how their current seven-match home T20I series against England had not been played on such tracks. He added:
“India prepared good pitches for their series against Australia, and there was a lot of bounce on offer. There was a nice carry to the keeper, and he was collecting the ball above his waist.
“They made pitches that had good pace and bounce, and that is closer to the type of cricket they might get in Australia. While the Pakistani pitches were also good, they didn’t have enough pace and bounce.”
On October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Rohit Sharma’s team will play a titanic match against their bitter rivals Pakistan to kick off their T20 World Cup run. The two cricket-playing nations last faced off in two games in the 2022 Asia Cup. In those games, both teams were able to earn victories.
