IND vs SA 3rd T20 Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Pitch Report, Weather Suryakumar Yadav’s India will take on Aiden Markram’s South Africa in the third of the four-match T20I series on Wednesday at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. The series is all square at 1-1 after the hosts won a thriller in their last encounter.
Despite the win South African batters have struggled against Varun Chakrvarthy’s willy spin. As per India apart from Sanju Samson who scored a blistering ton in the first game other batters have been a hit and miss. Though there have been a few cameos the lack of innings of substance at Gqeberha has cost the side from getting to a par score.
Here’s a look at all the details
India predicted XI: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi
Player to watch out for: Abhishek Sharma is a player who walks the talk of Indian modern attacking philosophy. However, since the ton against Zimbabwe, he has been going through a lean patch in his career, and with the ability to take the game away from the opposition in the first six overs him scoring innings of substance is important for the side going forward.
South Africa predicted XI Aiden Markram (c), Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Patrick Kruger, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter
Player to watch out for: Aiden Markram is one of the gifted batters in recent times. He is not only gifted with the virtue of timing but also has the power game for the T20I cricket. However, in the first couple of game he could not make much contribution. With series squared up the South African thinktank would be hoping that the skipper will come good on Wednesday.
Squads:
South Africa Squad: Aiden Markram(c), Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen(w), David Miller, Patrick Kruger, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter, Mihlali Mpongwana, Donovan Ferreira, Ottneil Baartman, Reeza Hendricks
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy, Avesh Khan, Jitesh Sharma, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Ramandeep Singh, Yash Dayal

Pitch report: The pitch in Centurion often has a bit of pace and bounce and will help the fast bowlers hence seamers will have a role to play. Additionly spinners who can put in the extra effort can enjoy the bounce too. Similarly if batters do give themseleves a bit of time because of the even bounce scoring will get pretty easy.
