Cricket Match Prediction | South Africa vs India | 3rd T20I | Nov 13 – Let’s see who will dominate the 3rd RSA vs IND fixture.

RSA vs IND Match Analysis

On November 13, 2024, at SuperSport Park, Centurion, India and South Africa will play the third Twenty20 International of a four-match series at 9:00 p.m. BST. With one victory apiece for both teams, the series is now 1-1. Winning the third game will be crucial since it would ensure that the team cannot lose the series with two games left. SuperSport Park has recently provided several run feasts, and we anticipate another exciting high-scoring match.

South Africa aims to secure an unassailable lead as they face India this Wednesday. After a heavy defeat in the first T20I, the home team raised their performance in the second match, clinching an exciting victory. India will be disappointed with their overall showing in the second T20I. First, their batters struggled on a seaming pitch, posting just 124-6. Then, despite reducing South Africa to 66-6 with Varun Chakaravarthy’s career-best 5-17, the fast bowlers faltered and allowed South Africa to cruise to victory.

RSA vs IND Team Preview & Squads

South Africa 

South Africa leveled the series with a three-wicket win, thanks to Tristan Stubbs’ steady 47 off 41 balls, a brisk 19 from 9 by Gerald Coetzee, and disciplined bowling. They managed to pull off the chase after struggling at 86 for 7 in pursuit of 124.

Given how poorly RSA’s top and middle order have played this series, this victory was greatly needed. David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, and Reeza Hendricks have all fallen short of expectations. You may support Klaasen and Miller to put up a strong show here because they’ve had a fantastic run in the format. Stubbs has appeared to be in excellent form, and we are supporting him to keep up his recent success.

Even without Kagiso Rabada, South Africa’s bowling appears to be rather strong. Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee have performed admirably. Due to their inexperience, Andile Simelane and Nqabayomzi Peter may try to score runs on this lovely batting track.

South Africa Squads

South Africa

Aiden Markram, Mihlali Mpongwana, Reeza Hendricks, Patrick Kruger, Ottneil Baartman, Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Marco Jansen, Donovan Ferreira, Lutho Sipamla, Andile Simelane, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, and Nqabayomzi Peter.

India

India has fielded seven specialist batters in the first two T20Is, resulting in a fairly lengthy tail. This setup requires at least two of Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, or Rinku Singh to score big. Samson achieved this in the first match with an impressive century, but it didn’t materialize in the following game.

Regretfully, Abhishek Sharma has made some careless plays, and captain Suryakumar has appeared unprepared. However, he might be able to score several runs at SuperSport Park because of the flat wicket. Varun Chakaravarthy, who has been virtually unplayable, has been the star of IND’s outstanding spinners. Things have remained tight between Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi. Avesh Khan appeared listless once more, and Arshdeep Singh was erratic in the last game. In our opinion, Yash Dayal or Vijaykumar Vyshak will most likely replace Avesh in the third game.

India Squads

India

Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Arshdeep Singh, Yash Dayal, Suryakumar Yadav, Jitesh Sharma, Varun Chakravarthy, Avesh Khan, Hardik Pandya, Abhishek Sharma, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Axar Patel.

South Africa vs India outfield report

SuperSport Park, Centurion

The chasing team won both of last year’s men’s Twenty20 Internationals at SuperSport Park. Both captains will likely field first in this game as a result, in our opinion. During the game, Centurion will experience beautiful, cool weather. Since there is little chance of rain, we ought to have a complete game. 

Centurion’s SuperSport Park is renowned for its bouncy fields, where the ball frequently comes on fast. Fast bowlers have typically had a significant advantage on this dynamic surface.
