T20 World Cup: Having already conceded the five-match T20I series with two games to spare, India will enter the fourth game against South Africa, to be played at the Wanderers on Saturday, with an aim to solve a familiar and urgent crisis: a bowling unit looking in tatters at the moment.

Despite a resurgent batting performance on Wednesday that saw India post 192/4 - their highest-ever T20I score against the Proteas - the Harmanpreet Kaur-led visitors were listless with the ball to stop a clinical South African chase, thanks to a whirlwind 115 by hosts skipper Laura Wolvaardt.

The primary issue India must correct is their inability to pick wickets in power-play. In the third T20I, Laura and Sune Luus dismantled the Indian bowling attack with a 183-run opening stand. Apart from the bowling lacking penetration and falling off in execution, India haven’t posted their best fielding performance too.
