All four teams in the group are level on two points from two matches.
Kohli would not be drawn on his team composition.
"We are against a very high quality side and we have to go out there and play good cricket", he said.
"Look, I'm still in good form. I never thought Pakistan was the biggest game of my captaincy career neither is this one". It would also be interesting to see how the Indian team management work around to select the best possible XI for the match. Though the weather is unlikely to hamper the tie, in case of a washed-out fixture India will go through as the second-best side from Group B and will play their semifinal in Cardiff, provided the Sri-Lanka-Pakistan fixture has a victor.
"The team that can have the most composure, I would say, to sum it up, will have a better chance of winning of the game".
Cavs avoid sweep, overwhelm Warriors in heated Game 4
Hardman joked he and his co-owner Dan Herbst were just looking for any way to get Durant off the court and help the Cavaliers . People can talk about it in historical context, but you just get it done, win the series and let everybody else talk".
South Africa: Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers (captain), David Miller, JP Duminy, Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel, Imran Tahir. "As a cricketer, I crave games like these", he said. If you're trying to get 20 extra and there are setbacks in that period of time, you end up getting 20 less. However, against all expectations, Kohli and Co. lost their second match to a less fancied Sri Lanka and failed to seal their place in the semi-finals.
The defending champions India, a spirited South Africa and the spot for the semi-final will be at stake as Virat Kohli's team will take on ABD's men in a must-win match on Sunday. "I don't think that was the biggest neither the next against South Africa".
Kohli was dismissed on a duck in the last game against Sri Lanka, while his counterpart De Villiers suffered a similar fate against Pakistan in his last match. Against England he went 46, 50 and 30 not out in the three games before (this tournament), so AB must be out of form after just two knocks. "There's nothing I can say here that's going to change anything except for that I still believe I can and hopefully I'll prove that tomorrow". "We have looked at the last game and seen where we can make a bit of a change", said the captain in a pre-match press conference on Saturday.
"The guys generally perform better if they are relaxed in their mind sets and not too tense. That's partly my responsibility to make sure there's no panic", the South African skipper said. When you tend to get over excited, you commit errors that can cost the team. The tendency will be there, because we all live for these kinds of moments.
"One area where I feel India has improved out of sight, certainly since my playing days, is in its seam bowling".
