India vs South Africa 3rd ODI Match Prediction: South Africa will be looking forward to winning the series in the last ODI of the series against India after winning the previous match by eight wickets, and the next match will be played at Boland Park, Paarl.

India’s batting unit did not perform well in the last match except for two batters, Sai Sudharsan and KL Rahul. Other batters have not crossed the 20+ mark, which is why they got out on just 211, which was easily chased by the South African team in just 42.3 overs.

South Africa backed themself, especially their opener, who had 130 opening partnerships, and then the amazing innings of Tony de Zorzi, who scored his maiden century. However, there were many chances that went up, but no one caught the ball. Still, India’s bowling unit did fine, and it was a mistake of the Indian batting lineup.

India should make a few changes to give Yuzvendra Chahal a chance in place of Axar Patel and Replace Tilak Verma with Rajat Patidar. Because if Chahal is not in the plan for the Indian team in the future World Cup, then he should not be called into the team.

Boland Park’s Paarl pitch has been great for the batters in recent times, and it is said to be batting paradise for them, but at the start of the match, the pace bowler does get some extra bounce and swing from the surface.

Team Preview Of India

India needs to win the next one to clinch the trophy of the ODI series, and the batting unit needs to perform better than their previous match, and it will be a much easier track.

Important players for the India Team in the match against South Africa

1- Sai Suharsan has been good in both ODI matches, scoring 117 in two matches and showing his ability against the pace unit of South Africa bowlers, who have been lethal with their bouncer and hard length.

2- Rinku Singh failed to capitalize on his chance in the last match and got out on just 17 runs by Keshav Maharaj, but he is one of the best finishers in India right now.

3- Kl Rahul played decent innings in the last game, scoring 56 when India was in very deep trouble but still not able to reach his century.

Team Preview Of South Africa

South Africa’s batting and bowling unit came on top against India in the 2nd ODI, but now, in the next match, they need to keep the same performance because the Indian team will be coming well-prepared.

Important players for the South Africa Team in the match against India

1- Aiden Markram once again will be an important player for the South African team, and in the last match, he even took a wicket, which is a great thing for his side.

2- Tony de Zorzi played a beautiful inning in the last match, scoring 119, not out to shut many haters’ mouths who were saying bad about him. It was such a free-flowing inning, and the way he hit sixes against the spinner clearly shows his skill against spin bowling.

3- Nandre Burger was amazing in the last match, taking three wickets by giving just 30 runs in his 10-over spell, which tells about his ability to bowl at a hard length.
