Match Preview
After gaining an early lead in the ODI series, the Indian team fell prey to the South African bowling attack in the second ODI. The Aiden Markram boys came back to secure a resounding win, thus forcing a decider and levelling the series 1-1. The final match will decide who will take the series crown home as the cricketing giants take on each other at Boland Park in Paarl.
After pulling off a brilliant show by their bowling attack, the Indian men surrendered to the lethal home favourites in the second game. KL Rahul and his boys were bundled out on 211 before the bowling unit failed to defend it.
Toss Prediction
In the first and second matches of the three-match ODI series that commenced on Sunday, December 17 at the Wanderers Stadium, home captain Aiden Markram won the toss over the away captain KL Rahul. We think the home ground factor is surely playing its charm and hence, we think that the Proteas’ skipper would come on top of the toss battle to extend his tally to 3-0 in terms of toss.
Win Possibility
After opening the series on a favourable note, Team India succumbed to a defeat in the second clash. Both the sides stand 1-1 in the series. In the forthcoming match, both teams will be in a do-or-die condition. Before the 50-over series, the teams clashed in a three-match T20I series, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
The upcoming match holds a greater significance for both sides, as South Africa wouldn’t wish to face a defeat on home turf, while India will look forward to clinching the series title to get over the painful defeat of the ODI World Cup 2023. We think the KL Rahul-led side win the 3rd ODI and clinch the series 2-1, to give the side a decent momentum ahead of the Test series.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Boland Park Stadium in Paarl has hosted a total of 15 ODI matches. The average first-inning score of the ground is 250 and considering this as well as the batting-friendly pitch of the surface, we think that the first-inning score of the forthcoming match will be somewhere between 270-280. Talking about the powerplay score, it is expected to be between 50-55 in the upcoming match.
