India and South Africa will lock horns with each other in the third and final ODI of the series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, October 11. The Proteas took the honours in the first game before the Men in Blue bounced back to level the series in the second game.
South Africa will head into this game as the favourites, owing to their experience and star power. Much will ride on the shoulders of Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada with direct qualification to the ICC World Cup 2023 at stake.
India, on the other hand, have performed exceptionally well with their second-string squad under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan. However, Dhawan’s form has not been satisfactory in this series and he will hope to return to form in the next game.
