IND vs SA 3rd ODI Predicted XI

India will be up against South Africa in the third and final ODI match at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, December 6. The three-match series is currently tied at 1-1 after South Africa bounced back from the opening game’s defeat to win the second match.

Both matches have turned out to be high-scoring contests, and nothing different is expected from the series decider. India are in desperate need of a win, not only to take revenge for the Test series defeat, but also to avoid the second successive ODI series loss. India lost the ODI series 1-2 in Australia a few weeks ago.

While all focus will be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India will also have to face another challenge during the toss time, having lost it in the last 20 successive ODI matches. India's team combination will also be under the scanner, especially after the team's failure to capitalise in the death overs with the bat in both the matches so far.

IND vs SA 3rd ODI, Visakhapatnam Pitch Report:

The pitch in Vizag is pretty flat, and the bowlers are expected to struggle in controlling the flow of runs during the IND vs SA 3rd ODI. Apart from early swing with the new ball, there is nothing bowlers can exploit from the wicket. The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium is a high-scoring venue, and the chasing side will have an edge of the conditions, because of dew.
