India vs South Africa: India to end the series with a win

After winning the game and the series India will look to impose themselves and whitewash South Africa. Will they be able to do it or will South Africa get back up and get a consolation win?  

India form

India bowled superbly in the first game of the tournament taking five wickets in the powerplay. The big problem for India is the final overs where they are leaking lots of runs. India scored 237 runs in the second game but only won the game by 16 runs. The batting on the other hand is very consistent and India has a great mix of stroke players and heavy hitters. The men in blue will be looking to close the series with a win.

India Predicted Lineup

Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

South Africa form

South Africa was never in the game after losing their top order in quick succession. They lost two quick wickets in the second game also but the middle order should give them a lot of confidence going into the series finale. It is a dead rubber game but for South Africa, it will be a chance to redeem themselves before the world cup. The batting has shown signs of improvement with De Kock scoring a fifty and Miller hitting a century. Bowling has been the weak point, they gave lots of freebies to India which lead to their downfall. 

South Africa Predicted Lineup

Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, David Miller(c), Tristan Stubbs, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
