India vs South Africa 3rd ODI Prediction
One thing is for sure, that the South African team has come here to put up a great fight, as we already saw in the test series. They just fell short in the first ODI and made a comeback in the second. It was a poor fielding display by the Indian team, which is one of the reasons they lost the match. India also scored fewer runs after Virat got out, as it looked like, at one moment, India could go above 375.
There are a lot of positives for the Indian team as Virat has now got two back-to-back centuries, and KL Rahul is finishing the innings with big hits. South Africa is going all out, and we believe the 3rd ODI will be a great game for the neutrals. Our India vs South Africa 3rd ODI Prediction is India to win and also win the series 2-1.
Pitch Report: India vs South Africa 3rd ODI
Already, we have seen a lot of runs in the first ODIs of this series, as almost 700 runs have been scored in both matches. We can see the same at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, as it is a batting-friendly wicket. The wicket here also gives help to the spin bowlers once we move forward in the match. India would hope to win the toss, and if they do, they would like to chase on this venue.
India vs South Africa 3rd ODI: Expected XI
There are very few chances that either of the teams will make changes to their playing eleven for the 3rd ODI. Why would South Africa want to change when they have just won a match, and with India, Yashasvi Jaiswal needs to convert his starts into big scores. If there are any injuries to any of the players, then most likely we will see changes in both teams for the series decider.

- Batsmen: Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma (c), Matthew Breetzke, Tony de Zorzi, and Dewald Brevis
- Bowlers: Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, and Ottneil Baartman
- All-rounders: Marco Jansen and Corbin Bosch
- Wicketkeeper: Ryan Rickelton
India XI:
- Batsmen: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Ruturaj Gaikwad
