India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: Men in Blue will look to level the series when they face the Proteas in the third and final T20I of the three-match series at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday (December 14).

Suryakumar Yadav-led India lost by 5 wickets (DLS method) to Aiden Markram led South Africa in the truncated second T20I on Tuesday (December 12) after the series opener in Durban was abandoned without the toss due to rain on Sunday (December 10).

In the 2nd T20I, India rode on fifties from skipper Suryakumar and Rinku Singh to post 180/7 in 19.3 overs before rain forced the match into a 15-over chase for South Africa with the target being set at 153, which was chased down by the Proteas in the penultimate over to go 1-0 up.

Now, the two sides will hope they get a full match when they travel south to Johannesburg for the final T20I outing at the DP World Wanderers Stadium before the three-match ODI series, which starts in the weekend.

The two sides are set to clash at the Wanderers Stadium Stadium for the fourth time with two of the previous two outings ending in favour of India and one in South Africa’s favour. The last time they met at the venue was five years ago.

India have totally played 5 T20Is in Johannesburg, winning 3 and losing 2, while South Africa hold a 14-10 record at the venue. Here we take a look at the IND vs SA head to head record, Wanderers Stadium Stadium pitch report and weather forecast ahead of the 3rd T20I:
