IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today, 3rd T20I Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI: India tour of South Africa 2024

This will be the third game of the series. SuperSport Park, Centurion will be the venue for this game. The match will start at 8:30 PM IST on 13th November 2024. India won the first game by 61 runs with South Africa winning the second match by three wickets.

The Indian batters failed to get going in the second T20I. Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma’s form will be a concern for the visitors. The middle order has done well. Bowling has been excellent by India, especially the spinners have dominated the Protea middle order. India will be eyeing a comeback in this match.

Meanwhile, South Africa won the last game thanks to a brilliant performance by the bowlers followed by useful contributions from Tristan Stubbs and Gerald Coetzee with the bat. The bowlers were on point and never allowed the Indian batters to get going. The Proteas will also look to take an unassailable lead by winning this match. Batters have to step up for the hosts.
