India Vs South Africa 3rd T20I in Bengaluru: Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI Updates & Fantasy Cricket Tips

Bengaluru, Sep 21: After taking an unassailable 1-0 lead in Mohali, Team India will now face South Africa in the third T20I at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday (September 22). Under the leadership of captain Virat Kohli, the Men In Blue would be aiming to dominate the tourists and claim their first-ever T20I series win over Proteas at home.

Team India is coming home after a dominant tour of West Indies where the Men In Blue won all three series i.e. T20I, ODI and Test series in the latter's backyard. They would be eager to continue the momentum against a young Protea side. Bengaluru is Virat Kohli's second home and the Delhi-cricketer would be aiming to continue his dominant show and win the series.

Team News: India

Captain Virat Kohli produced a stellar show with the bat in Mohali as he scored an unbeaten 72 in the paltry run chase and he would be aiming for a similar result in the third T20I. Team India boasts of seasoned campaigners in Rohit Sharma, and Shikhar Dhawan.

Shreyas Iyer grabbed his chances on the West Indies tour and looks to have regained the confidence of the team management. He would once again get a preference over KL Rahul in the third T20I.

The Indian team also comprises young turks like Washington Sundar, Rahul Chahar, Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar, and Navdeep Saini. Young pacers Deepak Chahar and Navdeep Saini did well in Mohali and will get another chance in the playing XI.

Team News: South Africa

When the Proteas last toured India in 2015, they came out victorious in both the limited-overs series against Indians. But that South Africa side had big names like AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis, Morne Morkel, JP Duminy, etc. in their side. They badly felt the absence of a seasoned campaigner in Mohali after they were invited to bat first as no batsman did well in the middle overs.

Barring captain Quinton de Kock - who notched up a fifty - and Temba Bavuma up to an extent were the only batsmen who showed some resistence against the Indian bowlers. But the young batting line-up and the little or no experience of playing in the Indian conditions got the better of them in the second T20I. After the dismal show in the Mohali T20I, they would be looking to put up an improved show in Bengaluru. In the bowling department, the Proteas would once again rely on the experience of pacer Kagiso Rabada and spinner Tabraiz Shamsi. Both these players have the experience of playing in the IPL and they would be leading their respective departments.
