In the 3rd ODI, the "Men in Blue" will clash with the "Proteas" at Eurolux Boland Park. The match will start at 4.30 pm. So far, the series between the teams has been tied and it will be an interesting clash to watch as the hosts will put out their best performances to seal the home series
Team India faced a defeat in the second ODI clash and will look to avoid the mistakes they made. Depending on the solid start from openers Sai Sudharshan and Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Men in Blue will aim to seal the series with a win. While Sai impressed with the scores of 55 and 62, Gaikwad, on the other hand, struggled to convert his innings into big scores
Sanju Samson who did not get a chance to bat in the first ODI, managed to score just 12 runs in the second clash. It would be a tough call for the management whether to replace him or not at the fifth spot
As the Eurolux Boland Park is known as a batting pitch, the average score of the team batting first on the pitch is 254 runs. Teams batting first have 60 per cent of match-winning records in the stadium
Rinku Singh who debuted for India in the second ODI, managed to score just 17 runs in 14 deliveries including 2 fours and 1 six. People will again keep tabs on Singh to deliver performances ahead of the final clash
