India vs South Africa, 3rd ODI: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details
With the series tied at 1-1, India and South Africa will lock horns in the third and final ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, October 11.
After a crushing defeat in the first game, the Men in Blue bounced back in some style to win the second ODI by seven wickets in Ranchi on Sunday, October 9.
Riding on a 161-run partnership between Ishan Kishan (93) and Shreyas Iyer (113*), India chased down 279 runs with 25 balls to spare. Sanju Samson remained unbetaen on 30 off 36 balls.
The hosts will hope to carry the winning momentum in the final game of the series as they look to continue their domination at home.
South Africa, on the other hand, were jolted by an average bowling performance. The spinners were taken to the cleaners and Anrich Nortje's poor form didn't help the side's cause as they failed to defend 278 runs.
They will have to regroup and fire in unison in the final game of the tour. With the series in line, skipper Temba Bavuma, who was rested for the second ODI, is likely to return to playing XI. He has been out of form with the bat and will hope to hit the strides ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
