India will face South Africa in the 3rd and deciding One-day international match to be played in Paarl on 21st December 2023. Apart from Sai Sudharsan and KL Rahul’s half-centuries, none of the Indian batters were able to convert into big scores as they could only manage 211. The bowling did not look up to the mark as Arshdeep Singh and Rinku Singh took wickets.
On the other hand, South Africa produced a dominating performance with both bat and ball. They used the conditions perfectly as Nandie Burger was the pick of bowlers. Chasing down 212, Tony de Zorzi and Hendricks added 130 runs for opening wicket as Zorzi scored maiden ODI century to help South Africa register 8 wicket win.
The Indian team would look to forget the performance in the 2nd match and give a good performance to win their 2nd ODI series on South African soil.
