India and South Africa will be locking horns with each other in the third T20I at the Holkar Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, October 4. Rohit Sharma and his men have already sealed the series with two brilliant performances. While the bowlers starred in the first match, it was the batters who came up with the goods in the second.
While the Indians will be looking to register a clean sweep, South Africa has shown glimpses of what they are capable of doing in this format, especially in the second game. With the likes of Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada eager to put in a good performance, the Proteas will fancy their chances of a win. All in all, another entertaining game beckons in Indore.
