South Africa Tour of India 2022: India vs South Africa – 3rd ODI Preview and Updates

Cricket

India vs South Africa – The third and final ODI of the three-match series between India and South Africa will be a winner-take-all affair. After losing the first game, the Indians made a strong comeback in the second game, winning by 7 wickets to level the series. The South Africans will look to rebound from their lackluster performance in the second game, in which they failed to apply pressure on the Indian batsmen.

The Indians have gained confidence, and their batsmen appear to be in good form. These players are accustomed to playing in these conditions, which gives the team an advantage. The South Africans will face an uphill battle due to the sharp turn on the Delhi wicket. It would be a high-stakes battle, even at betting sites and especially at Cricbaba, and both sides would most likely give their all.

The 3rd ODI of India vs South Africa will take place on October 11th, 2022 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

India (Match Odds – 1.85):

Preview:

Shikhar Dhawan would be pleased with his team’s comeback in the previous game. They batted well and chased down a big score with precision. The bowling attack also limited the South Africans to a low total on a good batting surface, which was a confidence booster. Dhawan will aim for a similar performance and win the series 2-1.

Dhawan and Shubman Gill must perform at the top, as they have looked rusty in both games this season. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer both performed admirably, and the latter will be buoyed by his century in the previous match. The batting order of Sanju Sampson, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, and Shahbaz Ahmed is formidable.

As the South Africans are likely to struggle on this slow surface, Mohammad Siraj and Sundar will look to strike early. On this track, Shardul Thakur must make good use of his variations. Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ahmed bolster the side’s bowling options, and they will look to put their abilities to use.

Full Squad:

Shikhar Dhawan(c), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson(w), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan, Rahul Tripathi, Rajat Patidar, Mukesh Kumar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravi Bishnoi

Players to watch out for:

Shreyas Iyer

The fourth batter hit 113 runs off 111 balls on Sunday. He hit 15 fours and now has a 47.07 ERA in 29 innings.

Shikhar Dhawan

The skipper has only made 17 runs in the two games of the series, but his experience is crucial in a young and inexperienced side.

Mohammad Siraj

The quick bowler dismissed Quinton de Kock in the third over of the second ODI, as well as Reeza Hendricks.

Possible Playing XI:

Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan

South Africa (Match Odds – 1.95):

Preview:

Temba Bavuma, who was rested in the previous game, is expected to return. He must instill confidence in a team that has suffered a significant loss. The South African batsmen will face a significant challenge because the wicket will be difficult to score on. In this game, Bavuma will be looking for an energetic performance from his players.

Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock have done well as openers, and the side needs a strong start from them. Reeza Hendricks batted well for the side, and he will need to perform well in the middle order alongside Bavuma and Heinrich Klaasen. David Miller adds firepower to the bottom of the order and must perform well alongside Wayne Parnell.

Wayne Parnell and Bjorn Fortuin will need to bowl good spells with the new ball, as the wicket is unlikely to help them. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje are both experienced bowlers who play critical roles in this game. The team would also anticipate strong spells from Keshav Maharaj, who will relish the conditions.

Full Squad:

Quinton de Kock(w), Janneman Malan, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj(c), Bjorn Fortuin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Temba Bavuma, Andile Phehlukwayo, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Marco Jansen

Players to watch out for:

Reeza Hendricks

The right-handed top-order batter hit nine fours and one six on Sunday and has been in excellent form in both international and domestic cricket over the last four months.

David Miller

The left-handed attacking middle-order batter has scored 235 runs in his last four innings against India on this tour without being dismissed. In the second ODI, he hit four fours.

Kagiso Rabada

On Sunday, the pace bowler took the wicket of Shubman Gill for the second time in the series. The pitch in Delhi will be beneficial to him.

Possible Playing XI:

Temba Bavuma (c), Janneman Malan, Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Bjorn Fortuin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

India vs South Africa Top Team Batsmen

With the bat, we recommend Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, and Ishan Kishan for India. On Sunday, Kishan scored 93 runs off 84 balls, his highest international score.

Our South Africa batting picks are Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markam, and Reeza Hendricks. In the second ODI, Markram scored 79 runs off 89 balls.

India vs South Africa Top Team Bowlers

Our bowling picks for India are Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammad Siraj. Yadav fired the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen, who had the most sixes for South Africa, on Sunday.

For South Africa, we recommend Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Keshav Maharaj. In Delhi, Nortje will appreciate the surface and overhead conditions.

India vs South Africa Head to Head

With their victory on Sunday, India ended South Africa’s four-game winning streak in one-day internationals. It was India’s first home win in this format over South Africa since October 2015.

India vs South Africa Toss Prediction

This venue’s wicket is best for batting at the start of the game. It slows down as the game progresses, and scoring runs against spinners is always difficult at this venue. In this game, the team that wins the toss will most likely bat first.

India vs South Africa Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is a good ODI venue because it balances the batsmen and bowlers. We’ve seen high-scoring games here before, but bowlers have also had their moments. The wicket is ideal for spinners, but batsmen who spend time at the crease have done well here.

The skies over Delhi will be slightly overcast on October 11, and we anticipate that the surface will be difficult for the batsmen due to the weather conditions. To do well at this venue, batsmen will need to build their innings. To win here, the team batting first must score 300 runs.

India vs South Africa Prediction

South African bowlers struggled in the previous game. Their batsmen would be put to the test in Delhi on a slow and crumbling surface. In this game, the team must put its acts together in order to defeat a confident Indian team. The Indians have found their batting form, and the pitch here would be ideal for them. This would make the Indians the favorite in this game. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!

India is the favourite to beat South Africa at the odds of 1.85.
