We have reached the final stage of India and South Africa’s bilateral series. India won the T20I series by 2-1. The ODI series is levelled at 1-1. The final and the deciding third ODI will be held at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi tonight. While India is looking forward to continuing its superlative home form, South Africa is planning to boost itself by winning the series.
India may continue to play the same playing XI from the last match. The middle order looks solid with the stunning form of Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, and Sanju Samson. The openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill need to step up. On the bowling front, everyone did well, and they would like to continue the same form.
Captain Temba Bavuma missed the last game due to a mild infection. If he is recovered, he will get back into the side. If not, Keshav Maharaj will continue to lead the time. Tabraiz Shamsi may replace Bjorn Fortuin. South Africa will be happy with its batting efforts but the bowlers need to step up. They need their gun bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje to fire, especially ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
The match starts at 01.30 PM. It will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network and streamed on Disney+ Hotstar.
