The third match will be played at SuperSport Park in Centurion. According to estimates, the pitch is expected to be faster than the first two matches. The pitch will see more bounce and speed. It has been raining in Centurion for the past few days but it is expected that the full match will be played. Talking about the Indian team, the batting unit is not able to run at all. India's batsmen are not able to read the South African bowlers. Even in the first match, except for Sanju Samson, no Indian batsman could click out the strategy of the Proteas. If India has to win the match, then Indian batsmen will have to play responsibly. The pace bowling in the Indian bowling unit is looking quite light.
The spin bowling unit is showing its best performance. In the last match too, India's spinners took 6 wickets. The positive side for South Africa is their fast bowling. South African fast bowlers have consistently worked to trouble the Indian batsmen. South Africa's batting unit is also not able to support the bowlers. Talking about the match, a tremendous contest can be seen between the two teams.
