The date is June 11 and it’s the virtual quarter-final between India and South Africa in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. It’s going to be a fight to enter the semi-finals. Both the teams started their tournament with winning their first games but after they lost their next games, the men in blue and Proteas are on the same page. The teams would be putting all their efforts and probably, it’s going to be a bigger bash than the India vs Pakistan game as the one who loses will have to leave for home. The match is all set to begin at the Kennington Oval and meanwhile, both the teams were spotted sweating in the practice sessions.
