India Preview
India head into the final ODI after posting a formidable 358 in the second match, powered by brilliant centuries from Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad, along with a fiery finish by KL Rahul. However, despite the huge total, the bowlers couldn’t stop South Africa’s strong chase, exposing concerns in the middle and death overs. The pressure is now on India’s bowling attack—Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, and Prasidh Krishna—to step up under pressure and back the batting unit’s stellar form.
India Predicted XI
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Washington Sundar, KL Rahul(w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna
South Africa Preview
South Africa, meanwhile, come into the deciding ODI brimming with confidence after pulling off a record chase, driven by Aiden Markram’s superb 110 and powerful contributions from Matthew Breetzke and Dewald Brevis. Their top order looks solid, and the middle order has shown it can shift gears with ease. However, the Proteas will need greater control and discipline from their bowlers, who have struggled to contain India in both matches so far.
South Africa Predicted XI
Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma(c), Matthew Breetzke, Tony de Zorzi, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi
