IND vs SA Today Match Prediction – Who Will Win the 3rd T20I?

The 3rd T20I between India and South Africa is scheduled to take place on Thursday at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Ground, Dharamsala. South Africa won the 2nd T20I match by 51 runs. Wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock was the standout performer for South Africa, scoring 90 runs off 46 balls. 

India failed to chase down the target of 214 runs. India's bowling performance was below par in the second game, with both Bumrah and Arshdeep going wicketless and conceding far too many runs. The expectation is that they will return to their usual level here.
