South Africa Team News & Playing 11
The Proteas batting unit looks good with Dean Elgar, Aiden Markram, AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla all making significant contributions at Centurion. de Villiers is leading the runs charts and he will be the big threat for India due to his ability to score at a brisk rate. Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada and Morne Morkel are all amongst the wickets and are likely to trouble the Indians on a pacy Wanderers track. Debutant Lungisani Ngidi took a six-fer in the second innings of the last test and he is the bowler to watch out for.

India Team News & Playing 11
Virat Kohli's magnificent 153 had taken India closer to South Africa's first-innings total of 335. The skipper has scored the most runs for his side so far in this series and he will be the key man in this batting line-up. The visitors will also need Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay to step up. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is likely to be brought back for this game and the swing bowler seems a strong candidate to pick up a few early wickets. Mohammed Shami (9 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah (7 wickets) have also done a reasonably good job with the ball.

South Africa vs India 3rd Test Prediction
India have played well in this series but only over short periods of time and they have been unable to make the most of the opportunities presented to them. Though their bowling has been pretty sharp on this tour, it is the lack of application by their top-order batsmen that has let them down in both the matches. South Africa on the other hand have been clinical with both bat and ball. They have now won their last nine tests at home and will be looking to put up another dominating performance in front of their fans. The hosts are definitely the superior side in these conditions which is why we predict them to win this match and take the series 3-0.
Final Verdict: Back South Africa to beat India in the third test at 1.77 on betfair, 1.73 on 10Cric and 1.72 each on bet365, Unibet and Betway.
