The third T20 match between India and South Africa promises an exciting encounter as both teams strive for dominance in the four-match series. The match will be held at the SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion, South Africa, known for its high-scoring contests. This creates an interesting backdrop for the performance of key Indian players like Sanju Samson, who seeks to recover from a disappointing duck in the previous match. Samson's opening partner, Abhishek Sharma, will also be under scrutiny due to a string of low scores in recent outings. His performance against Bangladesh was equally underwhelming, highlighting the pressure he faces to solidify his position in the playing XI.
The pitch in Centurion is expected to offer pace and bounce, making it conducive for aggressive batting. However, the overcast conditions may pose a challenge, potentially favoring the seamers. While rain is unlikely, the cloudy sky is expected to persist, which could necessitate a cautious approach from the Indian team. The match is scheduled for November 13, 2024 (Wednesday), with the toss taking place at 8:00 pm IST and the match beginning at 8:30 pm IST. The match will be broadcast on the Sports18 Network and live streaming will be available on the JioCinema app and website.
Both teams have announced their squads for the series. India's squad includes Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Avesh Khan, and Yash Dayal. South Africa's squad features Aiden Markram (captain), Ottneil Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Patrick Kruger, Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Mihlali Mpongwana, Nqaba Peter, Ryan Rickelton, Andile Simelane, Lutho Sipamla, and Tristan Stubbs.
