South Africa vs India - 3rd ODI, Predicted Playing XIs & Stats Preview

At the start of the tour, India were billed the hot favourites. By the end of it, they seem to have done hardly anything to live up to that billing. After the highs of Centurion, they plummeted to lows in Johannesburg and Cape Town, letting go of what was the “best chance” in the words of many to record a maiden Test series victory in South Africa.

If the on-field affairs were soggy, there was not much to enjoy off the field either, with Virat Kohli giving up on the captaincy of the only format he was leading by the time the series had gotten underway.

Pitch and conditions:
Expect the new ball to do more than what it did in Paarl, although a quick outfield should mean the margin of error will be on the lower side for the bowlers. Statistically, Newlands is bat-first venue, with 28 ODIs won by teams batting first in 43 games at the venue. Therefore, the toss might play a crucial role.
