South Africa and India will have a go at each other for the third time in the three-match ODI series on January 23, Sunday at the Newlands in Cape Town. Following a 31-run and seven-wicket victory in the first and second game, South Africa have taken a lead of 2-0.
The host will now play for an iconic win of 3-0 against the number one side in the cricket world at the moment. South Africa are unlikely to hamper their winning combination as all the players have done extremely well under the leadership of Temba Bavuma.
India, on the other hand, are going through a lean patch. The team failed to make a mark in the first two games and they will have the last chance on Sunday to save themselves from an embarrassing loss. The team can look towards testing their bench strength as they have already lost the series.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked off-color in the first two matches and thus Mohammed Siraj can be given a chance to prove himself in the blue jersey. Notably, Shardul Thakur has been the only positive for the visitors in the series so far as he has delivered headline performances both with the bat and ball.
