India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: India will be up against South Africa in the third T20I match at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday. The five-match series is currently levelled at 1-1, and both teams will be looking to put their best foot forward in order to take an upper hand heading forward.

India will be aiming to produce an improved effort to return to winning ways. They had a disappointing outing in the previous match, losing by 51 runs in Mullanpur. All eyes will be on India's team combination amid the heavy criticism the players have faced after the previous fixture. Shubman Gill’s return after injury has been disappointing, and India may consider giving Sanju Samson a chance at the top, while Suryakumar Yadav will continue as captain, hoping to regain form in the third game.
