The 2nd ODI series India with a dominant batting performance in a chase of 282/3, this match was at Ranchi on Sunday. On Oct 11th, India’s second-string side would be looking to seal the series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
However; India squad is likely to remain unchanged, while South Africa might make a few changes in their playing XI.
It is highly unlikely that India will change their playing XI after a comfortable win in Ranchi. India’s six-man attack was far better balanced than the five bowlers they went into the first ODI.
Playing with three all-rounders, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, and Shahbaz Ahmed, gives Indian batting depth. It would be another crucial match for Mohammed Siraj to push claims that he could be included as a standby player for the World Cup.
Temba Bavuma missed game two will illness and Reeza Hendricks seized his opportunity at No 3 with an impressive 74 from 76. If Bavuma returns, Janneman Malan may have to sit out for in-form Reeza Hendricks.
With conditions likely to benefit the pacers in New Delhi, South Africa is consider putting bowler; Lungi Ngidi in place of left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin. It is highly unlikely that Tabraiz Shamsi would return, even if he is fit.
South Africa will go with four pacers and one spinner in Keshav Maharaj and will be depended on Aiden Markram to do the sixth bowler’s job.
