India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between India and South Africa?

After losing two back-to-back matches, India will take on South Africa in the third match of the series, to be played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on June 14 (Tuesday). The Men in Blue have not been able to match the level of Proteas in the current series so far and are desperate to make a comeback.

One of the biggest issues Team India has is their bowling line-up, which has looked weak. The likes of David Miller, Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen have exposed it. With the series on the line, the Men in Blue will want to put out a better show in the third match and eventually win that match.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match 

Ruturaj Gaikwad:

Indian opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad did not manage to make any impact during the second T20I. However, he played a useful knock in the series opener. While playing for India, Gaikwad has not been able to show his true potential with the bat and he will want to silence his critics after scoring big runs in the third match.

Probable best bowler of the match 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar:

Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar took on the South Africa top-order and demolished it single-handedly after bowling a wonderful spell. He took four wickets and gave away only 13 runs in his four overs. However, he could not win the match for his team and will want to give a match-winning performance in the next game.
