India sealed the T20I series against South Africa by winning the first two games. The nominal third match will be held tonight in Indore. While India is looking for a whitewash, South Africa is aiming for a single victory. Though it won the first two games, there are many concerns for India, all in the bowling department.
The high total of 237 saved India from losing the last game. South Africa scored 46 runs in the last two overs and lost the match by only 16 runs. That proves the sorry state of our bowling lineup. For the third match, India decided to rest KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. Shreyas Iyer will make it to the playing XI. The other spot may get filled by Umesh Yadav of Mohammed Siraj. This match is crucial for the team to sort out their primary bowlers for the World Cup.
On the flip side, South Africa will be happy with how they performed with the bat in the last game. They have a solid middle order. Only top-order batters Temba Bavuma and Rilee Rossouw need to step up their game. The bowling is a concern for the Proteas too. They need their star bowlers Rabada, Nortje and Lungi Ngidi to do well.
