India vs South Africa 3rd T20 Match Preview
Match: IND vs SA T20i Match Prediction
Time: 14 May, 07:00 PM (IST)
Series: 3rd T20i Match
Venue: ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium – Visakhapatnam, India
Info:
Ishan Kishan has hit the most runs for India in the series so far. We expect the opener to be India’s highest run scorer in this IT20. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 4-13 from 4 overs on Sunday and he is our pick for India’s top wicket taker in Tuesday’s game.
Captain Temba Bavuma scored 35 runs from 30 balls at the top of the order for South Africa in the second IT20. He is our tip for their highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Anrich Nortje took 2-36 in the last fixture and he is a good bet for South Africa’s top wicket taker against India.
Although he is yet to finish on the winning side in this series, Ishan Kishan has looked assured at the top of the order for India. He is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

Team News:
IND Team News:
There were no changes to the India XI from the first IT20 on Thursday to Sunday’s game. We saw an improved performance in the second game and, although you can not show an infinite amount of belief during defeats, we expect to see another unchanged side.
SA Team News:
Opener Quinton de Kock missed out on Sunday due to a wrist injury but we expect him to be fit enough to play in this game. His absence saw two changes to the South Africa line-up with Reeza Hendricks coming in at the top of the order and Heinrich Klassen taking the gloves. We predict that de Kock will come in with Hendricks missing out.

India are favorites to beat South Africa
