There are no official words on the fitness of Steyn but with he doesn’t have many days to recover now. Steyn showed symptoms of flu ahead of Zimbabwe clash but he participated in the game and returned with an unimpressive figure of 1 for 64.
Both India and South Africa have started their World Cup campaign on a positive note but the latter is going into the clash with heads up, as the defending champions have never beaten the Proteas in previous three World Cup clashes.
