Allan Donald says 'intimidating' Melbourne clash 'home' game for India

Former South African pace spearhead and now bowling coach Allan Donald believes that Sunday's high-voltage clash against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground would be like home game for Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men due to massive crowd support.

Terming the ground as an intimidating place, Donald said that it would be a home game for India as there is going to be a lot of Indian support, adding that keeping the crowd quiet is going to be a big thing, Sport24 reported.

Despite being one of the most powerful sides in modern-day cricket, South Africa have never won the World Cup.

Donald further said that it would be a massive game, adding that this time they are hoping to bag the elusive title.

India have never defeated South Africa in the World Cup, having lost all three times in 1992, 1999 and 2011.
