The Proteas have been brilliant in the series so far. The Indian side, on the other hand, have looked out of sorts and need to fire in unison to keep the series alive.
South Africa have the winning momentum behind them and it won’t be a surprise if they seal the series on Tuesday itself by winning the third T20I.
Prediction: South Africa to win this encounter.
