India vs South Africa 3rd T20I preview: Where to watch live, betting odds and possible XI

Snake on the field followed by flood light going off, mismanagement galore during IND vs SA 2nd T20I

Although India won the match in Guwahati, India's bowling woes were exposed once again. Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh picked two wickets in his first over of the spell but was punished for 62 runs in 4 overs. It was the first time that Arshdeep had conceded over 50 runs in his nascent T20I career. Harshal Patel was also ineffective as he leaked 45 runs from his quota of 4 overs without picking any wicket. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who won Player of the Series award against Australia, also proved expensive as he conceded 53 runs in his 4 overs.

Indian bowlers need to up the ante for the next match and for the upcoming World Cup.

With the fate of the series now sealed, India has rested Virat Kohli and KL Rahul for the Indore match. From the squad, leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and fast bowler Mohammed Siraj are yet to get a game in the series. Given that Chahal is part of India's World Cup squad he could get a chance to roll his arms over in Indore. Shreyas Iyer has been called as a backup player for the final match.

For the visitors, Indore presents a chance to save some grace and deny India the taste of a series clean sweep. If South Africa have to bounce back and win the final match of the series, the charge should come from their leader Temba Bavuma. The South Africa captain is yet to open his account in the series after being dismissed on 0 in the preceding two matches. Rilee Rossouw, who bats at no.3, has also lost his wicket on duck in Thiruvananthapuram and Guwhati. Misfiring Bavuma and Rossouw has meant that the Proteas middle-order has come under pressure. For the match in Indore South Africa could think of bringing in Reeza Hendricks. The batsman was in fine form in the absence of Bavuma, before he made way to the bench to accommodate the South African skipper in the playing XI. There is also a strong case of including fast bowling all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius. Despite some issues with the batting, South Africa will draw confidence from David Miller's blistering unbeaten hundred and a steady fifty by opener Quinton de Kock.

Just like Guwahati, International cricket returns to Indore after a gap of over two and a half years. The previous match was between India and Sri Lanka in January 2020. So expect a freshly laid track for this encounter.

According to Accuweather, the night temperature on Tuesday will be around 21° C. The sky will remain partly cloudy. There is no imminent threat of rain during the course of the match.
