Match Preview

The Men in Blue will next take on the Proteas Men in the third and final T20I at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday, 14 December. While the first match saw a complete washout due to persistent rain in Durban, Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India succumbed to the Protean challenge in the next game, trailing the series 1-0. However, both teams will put in their best effort as they try to find the best combination for the 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in West Indies and the USA.

Toss Prediction

South Africa has a better chance to win the toss as they have won more tosses over the last four T20Is than India. Moreover, Aiden Markram won the toss in the second T20I and invited India to bat first.

Win Possibility

Despite missing some big names, the Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, can beat South Africa and draw the series 1-1. While the hosts ended India’s winning streak in the second T20I at St George’s Park, the Men in Blue will aim to put on a competitive show. The batting has been in top form with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh unleashing the Protea bowlers, the Indian bowling attack will need to step up and try and emulate Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 5/24 performance from 2018, which remains the best bowling figures in an innings at the New Wanderers Stadium.

Predicted powerplay score and Average first innings total

The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg has allowed batters to score runs with ease while the pacers have a better performance rate as compared to the spinners on the pitch at the Wanderers Stadium. The average first innings score is likely to be around 190-200 as the average score from last seven T20Is is 190.42. At the same time, the predicted powerplay score is expected to be between 50 - 55.
