Shikhar Dhawan has looked in good touch in both games. He made a well made 50 in the first game and was looking good to make it two 50s in two games before he lost his wicket for 29. Dhawan is our choice for India top batter.
Temba Bavuma has scored a hundred and a solid 35 in two games of the series. He was averaging over 70 in the Test series as well. Looking at his form, he can be backed as South Africa top batter.
Tabraiz Shamsi has troubled the Indian batters with his variations. He has taken 4 wickets in two games. He is a good choice for South Africa top bowler.

It has been a miserable tour for India. They came in with a reputation as the best team in the world but have been stunned by a determined South Africa, who have been outstanding. South Africa batters have played a big role in the series win for the hosts. The likes of Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, Janemmann Malan have been outstanding. The bowling has been brilliant as well. The spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi has not allowed India to break free in the middle overs.
Meanwhile, for India, their batting has been disappointing, to say the least. Dhawan has looked good but KL Rahul has played too slow for India’s liking which has not helped the team. Lack of quick runs at the top meant that the middle order does not have enough time to build an inning. Thus, in an attempt to score quickly, the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer perished. Pant played a decent hand in the last game and is looking in good touch. Shardul Thakur has also helped India with crucial runs down the order. The bowling, however, surprisingly, has looked off colour.

SA vs IND Match Toss Prediction
Despite the change in venue, both teams will be hesitant to chase thus we feel both skippers will bat first f they win the toss.
SA vs IND Pitch Report
The surface should be more lively than the wicket we saw in Paarl. Extra pace and bounce on the surface will get the pacers into play as well. However, overall it should be a decent batting wicket.
Weather Report
The players will have a hard time under the scorching sun. While there is no threat of rain, the sun will be beating down hard, with temperatures in the 30s.

Having won the series, South Africa might look to give their bench strength a chance. In another scenario, they may play the winning combination and try to beat India 3-0
SA Key Players
Temba Bavuma - Bavuma has been magnificent in the series so far. After an impressive performance in the test series, he scored a 100 in the first game and then backed it up with another solid knock in the second game.
Jannemann Malan - Malan has been a key figure of this South Africa team in recent years and he showed why he is rated so highly with a brilliant knock of 91 in the last game. He will be eyeing a three-digit score in the final game
Tabraiz Shamsi - Shamsi has been brilliant for South Africa in recent times and has chocked Indians for runs in middle overs. He will once again hold the key in the middle overs.
SA Team Form
With their batters and bowlers in form, South Africa are looking good
South Africa Predicted Playing 11

RSA vs IND Match Prediction
India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Indian bowling has looked flat and there is a possibility that Mohammed Siraj or Deepak Chahar may replace Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the team. Also, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Suryakaumar Yadav can get a game as well.
IND Key Players
Virat Kohli - After a good 50 in the first game, Kohli was dismissed for 0 in the last game. The former skipper has been going through some hard times but he is a great batter and can never be counted out.
Shikhar Dhawan - The Southpaw has looked positive in both games. He made a solid 50 in the last game and was looking to make it big in the second game as well. This might be the final series for Dhawan before India start trying the youngsters thus he will be keen to make a big impact.
Jasprit Bumrah - While the Indian bowling has struggled, Bumrah has been terrific. The pace spearhead needs to spell some magic if India have to escape a series clean sweep.
IND Team Form
India have lost 4 back to back matches on South Africa tour
Rishabh Pant will be our keeper. Pant scored a brilliant half-century in the last game and helped India post a healthy total.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Temba Bavuma and Jannemann Malan are the batters we have gone in with. All these batters are in good form and as top-order batters, will have the best opportunity to play big knocks
All-rounders
Andile Phehlukwayo will be our all-rounder. While he does not look intimidating, he does the job pretty well for South Africa
Bowlers
Spinners are going to dominate our bowling lineup as we have selected Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shami and Yuzvendra Chahal. Shardul Thakur and Lungi Ngidi are two pacers.
Captain/Vice-captain
Shikhar Dhawan is a good choice for captain, while Shardul Thakur can be backed as vice-captain
Quinton de Kock, Jannemann Malan and Temba Bavuma played well in the last game and are likely to come good in next game as well. India, on the other hand, will rest their hopes on Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan - their best batters
Spinners have dominated in the series thus Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi will be key for South Africa along with Lungi Ngidi. For India, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Ashwin will have to spell magic.
South Africa have won the series pretty comprehensively and ideally, they should start as favourites. However, India are not a team that will go down easily. They have looked ordinary so far but that doesn’t mean they are a bad team. Cape Town is a venue where Indian batters will enjoy the conditions thus we are backing them to win.
Final Verdict
India are favourites to beat South Africa at odds of 1.72
