Team India will be looking for some consistency from their openers as the hosts aim to clinch a memorable series win against South Africa in the third and final ODI in Delhi on Tuesday.
After going down narrow in the series-opener, the Indian white-ball depth was in full display as the hosts comfortably won the second ODI to level the three-match series 1-1. But the Indian think tank will be a little worried about the opening pair of captain Shikhar Dhawan and young Shubman Gill. Both the batsmen have struggled in the series so far.
The veteran batsman will be hoping to give the Indian innings a good start in the decider with his eyes on the ODI World Cup next year.
India vs South Africa 3rd ODI will be played in Delhi. The match will be telecast on Star Sports Network (Star Sports 1 and Star Sports 3). The match will be live streaming on Hotstar.
India’s third and deciding One Day International against South Africa was delayed due to a wet outfield in New Delhi on Tuesday.
The umpires were to conduct an inspection at 1.30 pm (0800 GMT) to assess the situation.
Rain can spoil the game. It has been raining heavily in the capital for the last three days and there is a possibility of thunderstorms on Tuesday as well.
