IND vs SA: A 3-match ODI series is being played between India and South Africa. The third and deciding match of the series is going to be played on Saturday, 6 December in Visakhapatnam. In this match, both the teams would like to take the field with the best playing-11, so that they can register victory in this match. In such a situation, let us tell you about the possible playing-11 of both the teams for the third ODI match, with whom the captains can take the field.

How could India’s playing-11 be in the third ODI?

There seems to be little scope for change in the Indian cricket team in the third ODI match to be played with South Africa. Even though India had to face defeat in the last match, they gave a tough fight. Not only this, it is also worth noting that there was no change in the playing-11 which had led India to victory in the first match in Ranchi, in the last match also. In such a situation, there is little hope of captain KL Rahul tampering with the playing eleven.

Will South Africa make changes?

There is very little possibility of the South African team making any changes in its playing 11 in the third ODI match to be played in Visakhapatnam. The African team had won the second ODI match played in Raipur, after which now surely captain Temba Bavuma can move ahead with his winning combination. Not only are the African batsmen performing well, their bowlers were also seen overpowering the Indian batsmen in the last match.
