SOUTHAMPTON – South Africa’s World Cup campaign is fast approaching the “do-or-die” stage. A victory over powerhouse India at the Rose Bowl could potentially be the shot in the arm they require to get their campaign back on track.

IOL Sport’s Zaahier Adams lists five things the Proteas need to do to put one over Virat Kohli’s Men in Blue.

India’s 12th man – Shut out the crowd noise
