Young Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaywal, who is yet to feature in the ODI format of the game, will look to do so in the third and final ODI against South Africa.
Jaiswal will have to deal with the bowling of Marco Jansen, who got the better of him in the last match and troubled him throughout the Test and ODI series.
Virat Kohli vs Nandre Berger
Coming into his third ODI against the Proteas on the back of consecutive centuries, Virat Kohli will aim to make another important contribution in the series decider.
Kohli will be facing off against Nandre Berger, who will look to bowl him out early in the innings.
aiden markram vs arshdeep singh
Aiden Markram, who ultimately scored a match-winning century, will have the onus on him to perform well in the upcoming match as well.
Markram will be up against Arshdeep Singh, who was the only bowler to control the bowling in the last match and will be expected to put in a similar effort in the next game.
Temba Bavuma vs Kuldeep Yadav
South Africa’s ODI captain Temba Bavuma, who forged a crucial partnership for the second wicket with Markram, will once again have to take up the responsibility and provide stability to the team’s middle order to increase the visitors’ chances of victory.
Bavuma will face the challenge of Kuldeep Yadav who, despite bowling well, may consider himself a bit unlucky with his figures in the last match and will want the fielders to hold the ball in the third game.
