India vs South Africa 3rd T20: Schedule, Live Streaming: Playing XI prediction, pitch report and weather update
India will take on Aiden Markram’s South Africa in the third match of their four-match T20I series on Wednesday, 13th November at SuperSport Park in Centurion. The series is currently tied 1-1, following a thrilling victory for the hosts in the previous encounter.
After a dominant performance in the first T20, India faltered in the second, managing only 124 runs in their 20 overs. However, Varun Chakravarthy kept them in the hunt with a brilliant 5-wicket haul for just 17 runs. Despite his efforts, the Indian bowlers couldn’t provide enough support, and South Africa successfully chased down the target in 17.1 overs, losing 7 wickets in the process. Tristan Stubbs was the standout batter, remaining unbeaten on 47*, and was well-supported by Gerald Coetzee, who played a quickfire cameo, scoring 19* runs off just 9 balls.

South Africa predicted XI Aiden Markram (c), Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter
Player to watch out for:
Heinrich Klaasen is one of the most destructive batters in T20 cricket, known for his aggressive style and ability to turn games around in a matter of overs. His power-hitting, particularly against both pace and spin, makes him a key asset in T20s. Klaasen has a reputation for finding the boundaries with ease, often taking on bowlers in the middle and death overs with remarkable consistency.

Pitch report:
The pitch at Centurion typically offers some pace and bounce, which will favor the fast bowlers, making seamers crucial to the game. Additionally, spinners who can generate extra turn or utilize the bounce effectively may also thrive. For the batters, if they take their time and adjust to the consistent bounce, scoring should become relatively easier as the innings progresses.
