India vs South Africa 3rd T20 Match Prediction: South Africa will look to seal the series with a win in their next match against India after winning the 2nd T20 by five wickets.

India lost their last match against South Africa quite easily by five wickets, and it was South Africa’s third win in a row against India. India’s openers got out on a duck, which clearly indicates that India’s new players still have to learn a lot because of Gill and Jaiswal. However, Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav gave an amazing performance to take the team India a total of 180, but other players could not score much. Indian batters must prepare themselves for the extra bouncing conditions because it has always been tough for inexperienced batters to deal with pace bowling on South African pitches.

South Africa started their bowling inning well, getting both openers out on ducks, but after that, they bowled some bad lines to Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh, who used the opportunity to score runs. The batting unit of South Africa did amazingly well, especially Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram, but still, they got lucky that there was some rain interruption just before South Africa took two wickets, which dropped the total score under the D/L Method.
