RSA vs IND Betting Tips

  • Dean Elgar has been the lone Warrior for South Africa in the series and played a match-winning knock of 96 in the second innings in Johannesburg. He is one batter who can dig in and play long innings. Back him as South Africa top scorer.
  • From India, KL Rahul has been in great touch. He missed out in the last game but he has heaps of runs behind them. He also has a hundred to his name in the series. He can be backed as India top scorer.
  • Jasprit Bumrah made his debut on the same ground and took 5 wickets. He has been in sensational form over the years and will be a big match-winner for India. Back him as India top bowler.

South Africa vs India 3rd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips

There’s a lot at stake for both teams going into the final Test. India eye their maiden series in South Africa, while a win over India will be a massive boost for the Proteas going forward. Who’ll prevail in this crunch game? Read our preview for the third Test that gets underway at Newlands, Cape Town at 2:00 PM IST

India had a great chance to seal their maiden series in South Africa in Johannesburg itself but a gritty Dean Elgar stood tall took his team to a breathtaking win. The Indians will be disappointed for sure. Their bowlers brought them back into the game after they were bowled out for 202 in the first innings and restricted South Africa from taking a big lead. 

Later, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara stroked half-centuries to put them in a commanding position. However, a batting collapse saw them lose their last eight wickets for 101 runs. 

But this is not the first time they have faced such issues. Over the last few years, India have let the game slip from a position of strength. India are missing Ravindra Jadeja, who has been a dependable batter down the order. While Shardul Thakur has done well with the bat, the lower middle order looks shaky. The poor form of Rishabh Pant has not helped either. 

Despite the loss, the bowlers had a good game and that's not a cause of concern for India. Virat Kohli is likely to be back for the game which will be a boost. Half-centuries by Rahane and Pujara might well have given them another chance to cement their place in the side. Unfortunately for Hanuma Vihari, he is likely to miss out despite doing well in the last game. Also, there are a few concerns regarding the fitness of Mohammed Siraj.

Speaking about South Africa, the win must have been pleasing. However, the issues still remain the same. Barring Dean Elgar, none of the batters have looked comfortable against the Indian bowling. You always get a feeling that a collapse is just around the corner. Elgar thus becomes vital for the hosts. If India gets him early, they can put some serious pressure on their batting lineup. The likes of Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma need to stand up for the team.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11

SA Team News

The hosts look balanced and we don't think there is any scope of chopping and changing, especially in a series decider. Unless there is a last moment injury, Proteas should stick to the same combination.

SA Key Players

  • Dean Elgar - Elgar binds the Proteas batting lineup. Without him, their batting looks very vulnerable against quality bowling. He single-handedly won the game for South Africa in Johannesburg and the hosts are to win the series, Elgar has to come good once again.  
  • Aiden Markram - Markram has not scored a lot of runs but he looked in majestic touch in the brief knock he played in the second innings at the Wanderers. If he could carry that form to Cape Town, South Africa's chances of winning the test will increase 10 fold.  
  • Lungi Ngidi - Ngidi has been a nemesis for India. Every time he plays against the Asian giants, he is among the wickets. South Africa will be hoping for another stellar show from Ngidi. 

SA Team Form

A win in the last game must have boosted South Africa’s confidence and that should reflect in their performance.

South Africa Predicted Playing 11

Dean Elgar (c), Aiden Markram, Keegan Petersen, Rassie van der Dussen, Temba Bavuma, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Duanne Olivier, Lungi Ngidi  

RSA vs IND Dream11 Prediction

  • Wicket-keeper

    Rishabh Pant is the keeper we would like to go in in with given his game-changing abilities.

  • Batsmen

    Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are the three Indian batters we have in the team. Rahul and Mayank have been the backbone of India batting in the last few months. We also have South Africa skipper Dean Elgar, who has been a lone Warrior for the hosts. His 96 in Johannesburg paved the way for a thrilling win for Proteas.

  • All-rounders

    We wanted to have R Ashwin in the team as well but he is not fitting in the best combination due to high credits. Instead, now we have gone in with Marco Jensen who had a good game in Johannesburg.

  • Bowlers

    Our bowling will comprise the five best bowlers in the match - Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Shardul Thakur.

  • Captain/Vice-captain

    KL Rahul is a good choice for captain, while Lungi Ngidi can be backed as vice-captain.

SA vs IND Dream11 Team Prediction

  • Batsmen:KL Rahul (C), Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal, Dean Elgar

  • All Rounder:Marco Jensen

  • Wicket Keeper:Rishabh Pant

  • Bowler:Jasprit Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi (VC), Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur

India Team News & Playing 11

IND Team News

Virat Kohli missed the last game due to a back spasm and he will most likely be back in the team. There are a few concerns about the fitness of Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav or Ishant Sharma can replace him.

IND Key Players

  • KL Rahul - The man is in the form of his life. At the moment, he is single-handedly carrying the Indian batting. He has been rock solid at the top, laying a strong platform for the batters to follow. Runs from Rahul is a must given that the following batters are not in the best form.  
  • Virat Kohli - The skipper is averaging less than 38 since 2019. Kohli has not scored a century as well in the last two years. However, unlike others, despite being out for form, he is striking the ball well and getting those 40s and 50s. It's just a matter of time that Kohli goes past that three-figure mark and return to his record-shattering routine.  
  • Jasprit Bumrah - Bumrah made his Test debut at the same venue in 2018. He took five wickets in the match and took off from there to become one of the greatest bowlers of the modern era. He is one of India's biggest match-winner.

IND Team Form

Despite the loss, India looked good most of the Johannesburg Test.

India Predicted Playing 11

KL Rahul (c), Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj/Ishant Sharma/Umesh Yadav.

Overall, India looks much better than the hosts who are over-reliant on Dean Elgar. India are favourites to win.
