ICC World T20 Ind vs SA: Proteas prepare for Indian spin challenge

Amit Mishra and Ashwin have won 2 man of the match awards each

Mirpur: Hashim Amla is all too aware that the India spinners, and how South Africa handle them, will go a long way to deciding the World Twenty20 semi-final on Friday.

The challenge posed by leg-spinner Amit Mishra and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who have each won two player-of-the-match awards so far in the tournament, compounds the threat already posed by India's powerful batting line-up.

India entered the World T20 in the midst of a form slump but have peaked at the right time, and are the only unbeaten team.

South Africa also have a balanced line-up, including batsmen adept at playing spin, but will need to adjust quickly to the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium pitch, which has been playing slower and lower than the Chittagong wicket where the Proteas played their group games
