South Africa Team News & Playing 11

South African cricket squad for the ODI series against India is now in a bit of pickle with the series already being at 2-0 score, with the blue team striking fire and fury with the lead of 2 matches already on their scoreboard. The news of injuries has rained another set of worries on the Proateas with Quinton de Kock being ruled out for the next match, against Indian side, following the wrist injury from 2nd ODI at Centurion. After the injury based dismissal of striker AB de Villiers and captain Faf du Plessis from the SA squad, Quinton's absence has added another dent to the already fragile morale of the team.

While a debut by Heinrich Klassen is on the cards for the 3rd ODI, the rest of the South African squad will have to give their best to counter the unstoppable attacks of Indian spinners and their damaging wrist actions. Their biggest trouble have been the duo of wrist spinners; it would be one big task to handle Chahal who in the 2nd ODI ended up hitting his first 5 wicket milestone with grace along with fellow spinner Kuldeep Yadav, whose 3 wickets lead was enough to seal the deal.

New captain Aiden Markram, due to the absence of Skipper Plessis, would have to now try every trick in his book to motivate the team that has not much to lose now.

A little shuffling in middle and top order to adjust Aiden Markham, Hashim Amla, David Miller and JP Duminy could do the trick. The biggest challenge would be to rotate the strikers around spinners, best bet would be to keep forward Khaya Zondo and Chris Morris who have been decently successful with spin attack.

South African pacer Kagiso Rabada is currently the only bowler who has been a bit successful in taking any wickets against Captain Virat Kohli's team. Many can argue that too was bad luck at Rohit Sharma’s end and if overlooked he can destroy Proteas’s bowling. Morne Morkel and Chris Morris will have to step up to now that SA is in the zone where there is no scope for errors.

South Africa Predicted Playing 11

  • Aiden Markram (c), Hashim Amla, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Jean-Paul Duminy, David Miller, Khaya Zondo, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel, Tabraiz Shamsi, Imran Tahir

India Team News & Playing 11

With a lead of 2-0 Indian team has successfully dominated the host team with a power packed performance from its wrist spinners and top batting order. Thanks to the deadly form of Indian spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, batting squad hasn't had much to worry about with meager totals to chase at their end.

Batsmen like Dhawan, Kohli and Rohit Sharma are fit and in form to face the fury if Proteas bowlers have any to offer. Dhoni, Jadav and Rahane too when let on fieled can prove lethal to the host team. India's biggest strength so far has been the South African team's inability to play spinners. Indian spinner's wrist action could easily lead team blue to a victory of 6-0.

With the series being more of a one sided battle, Indian team is having a good time but they must not lose focus over news of more injuries with Quinton's dismissal. Bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar might have been having a dry form but there is still lot to prove themselves with the series lead easing the pressure on Indian side. Hardik Pandya too could use the lead of 2-0 to pull itself back on track to help skipper Kohli with a more solid squad.

India Predicted Playing 11

  • Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah

 

­South Africa vs India 3rd ODI Betting Odds

It's quite unusual to see a sub-continent team deemed favorites to win a game on South African soil against the hosts. But the Proteas have only themselves to blame for this as they were outplayed in the first game before being annihilated in the second due to some reckless batting. India start off as favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this third ODI at odds of 1.68 on Betfair, 1.62 on Unibet, 1.67 on Ladbrokes and 1.61 each on Bet365 and Betway. South Africa are the bookmakers' underdogs at 2.32 on Betfair, 2.20 on Ladbrokes and 2.30 each on Bet365, Unibet and Betway.

­South Africa vs India 3rd ODI Prediction

This is a very important game for the hosts. One more slip-up would mean they cannot win the series from here and could only draw level at best. So, it is South Africa who will be feeling the heat on Wednesday. With no AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis around, their batting has clearly been affected and they seem to have no answers on how to tackle the Indian wrist-spinners. And to make matters worse, the pitch at Newlands has traditionally offered more assistance to spinners than any other ground in the country which means there won't be any respite for the South African batsmen here as well.

While the hosts are looking deflated at the moment under the leadership of an unexperienced captain in Aiden Markram, the visitors are looking in red-hot form which is why we predict them to continue their winning run, at least for now.

Final Verdict: Back India to beat South Africa in the third ODI at 1.68 on 1xbet, 1.62 on Unibet, 1.67 on 10Cric and 1.61 each on Bet365 and betway.
