India meet South Africa in the opening match of the Champions Trophy cricket tournament at Cardiff tomorrow. The Group B game is scheduled to begin at 3 P.M. (IST). With every game a virtual shootout, both the former winners will be eager to make a head start in the tournament which is being held for the last time. The other two teams in the Group are Pakistan and the West Indies. The four teams in Group "A' are: England, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. As World Cup champions, India will have more than reputation to defend in the 50-over format contest. They have not played a limited over international outside the sub-continent in the last 15 months. Although history never counts in international cricket, India have a good record against South Africa in the Champions Trophy. India lead 2-0 in head-to-head having won by 95 runs at Nairobi's Gymkhana ground on October 13, 2000 and by 10 runs at Colombo's Premadasa Stadium on September 25, 2002.
