🏏India tour of South Africa:3rd T20@SuperSportPark,Centurion Nov 13🏏 - Page 4

It's time for the toss. Markram and Suryakumar exchange team sheets. Markram has the coin and he gives it a twirl. Suryakumar calls but he gets it wrong again. South Africa win the toss for the third time in a row and they will bowl first. Markram says the wicket looks good and that it generally gets better under lights. Even if it doesn't, he reckons the pitch won't get worse. Adds they are looking to get some things done from a batting perspective, looking for some rhythm and hoping to do something special. Peter goes out with Sipamla coming on.

SKY says they would have batted first anyway, and they want to put up runs on the board. Adds he has been really happy with how they have executed. "Just be clear, go out and enjoy yourself" is the message for the team. One change for India too - Ramandeep comes in for Avesh.

India XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy

South Africa XI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (capt), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Lutho Sipamla

So we had scored 188 here but beaten in T20I vs Proteas 3 to 4 years ago.

I wish we can scores 205 today

Sanjay: "We will see fireworks from Abhishek today!!" -- It will be interesting to see how he copes with the pace and bounce, with this surface expected to be quicker than the two dished out earlier in the series.

Samarth: "Surprisingly Axar has been under-utilized in bowling so far in the two matches. Hope SKY sees him as a potential wicket taker, not just to restrict runs." -- With six proper bowling options in the first two games, it was always expected that one of them would be under-bowled, especially with Pandya acting as the third pacer.

In the first two games, it seemed India had a long tail and they have rectified that with Ramandeep coming in. That, though, has left them with one out-and-out pacer and two pace-bowling all-rounders, which is completely opposite to what South Africa have done, replacing their leg-spinner with another seamer.

Afeef: "It's time for Klaasen and Miller to score big today" -- South Africa could do with their two middle-order lynchpins standing up today.
