Four wickets gone and the pressure to chase the target is mounting up on South Africa. The last batter who got out was a set batter and again they need to come up with a new partnership. Arshdeep Singh looks good as he is able to get the ball to swing. Another wicket and India would be in control of the match. BTW, Sanju Samson batted very good today as in a pitch that didn't have any juice he was able get his first century in a ODI.
The fall of extra wickets put a lot of pressure on South Africa's game and they did not score much. From the beginning they did not play as a partnership due to which they still did not reach the target of victory, maybe today it was very difficult for them to win the series due to which they lost. In today's match, Indian batsmen won the series against South Africa due to their excellent batting performance and bowling performance. India's batsmen and bowlers have done great, due to their outstanding performance India won today's match and won the series. Samson's batting performance was outstanding due to which he was able to score a century at home in South Africa, and eventually India won the Oriya series, which is really a credit for the Indian cricket team.

In the 3rd ODI match of South Africa vs India team India came to the field to bat and set a target of 296 runs in 50 overs. Team India gave a great performance in batting. Team India batsman Rajat Patidar was dismissed for 22 runs. Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for 10 runs from 16 balls. Done. Sanju Samson got out with 108 runs off 114 balls. Sanju Samson gave a great performance in today's match. Soon South Africa team will come out to bat. If South Africa team can perform well in batting, today's match will be very difficult between the two teams. At the end of the game it will be seen which team wins today.
In third match, South Africa won the toss and first decided bowling. India batsman makes 6 run in 1 over and south Africa no any wicket against India batsman. South Africa bowler out the India batsmen in the fourth ball of the 5 over. This is the first achievement for south Africa team. Once time again south Africa bowler out the India batsmen in the third ball of the 8 over. This is the second achievement for south Africa team. India batsman makes 59 run in 10 over and 2 outs. India batsman could not worked hard and struggle. India batsman makes 296 run in 50 over and 8 outs. This is the target for south Africa batsman. This is the good target.Now let's see south Africa batsman can complete this target. The Indian batsman labored somewhat. And gave a target of 296 runs. This is a good target. Now the Indian bowlers need to keep them under control. December 21, 2023, 01:35:24 PM
India is all set to win the decider since Miller is the only proper batsman remaining currently. What a comeback by Arshdeep. This pitch seems to be a spin friendly surface though the Indian pacers are taking full advantage of it too.
Samson's century helped them post a competitive target. Also, Burger impressed me the most among the South African bowlers.
It looks like they will win the decider. It is still too early to come with a conclusion that they will win. Milker and Maharaj are still on the pitch, if these two form a partnership then things might get bad for India.Samson's century helped them post a competitive target. Also, Burger impressed me the most among the South African bowlers.
KL Rahul behind the wicket adaptability and his presence of mind got India two wickets. I don't know why he is not interested in keeping. He is becoming as good as Dhoni, can surpass him to become the second best keeper if continue to perform well as a keeper for the Indian team.

Samson's century is game changer for the India because if he not stays like today then surely we are not going to have target like this which is not easy on this pitch and now Indian bowlers are taking good wickets on important situations which bring them into game, but we have one good exciting new cricketer as well from the South Africa hopefully he will justify in coming matches as well with his performance today Patel and Sunder done good job and give good breakthrough to team 81 balls 108 runs killer Miller on crease, but look like India is going to steal another series win after beating Australia at home.

Bangladesh VS New Zealand
The second match of the New Zealand vs Bangladesh ODI series has started. We have seen that Bangladeshi batsmen did not perform well in the first match. New Zealand decided to bowl to take the toss in today's match. Bangladesh lost the toss and went into bat, losing wickets and under pressure. Najmul Hossain Shanto had a poor performance in the first match as well and was dismissed for 6 runs in the second match. Najmul Hossain Shanto I expected good performance from him as captain but he did not perform well. Bangladesh's opening batsman is yet to be decided. Bangladesh's opening batsman cannot survive the power play.
New Zealand won the toss and decided to field first in the second ODI between India and New Zealand. Bangladesh team is under a lot of pressure after losing important wickets in the power play. Bangladesh team lost four wickets for ninety three runs. Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim are batting well for the team. The current score of Bangladesh team is 157 runs for 4 wickets in 30 overs. Looking at the current condition of the game in Bangladesh, it seems that if the partnership of Mushfiqur Rahima and Soumya Sarkar survives, then maybe Bangladesh can give a target of 270 from New Zealand. If New Zealand can be given a target of 270 runs and if Bangladesh bowlers can bowl well then maybe Bangladesh can win the match.The second match of the New Zealand vs Bangladesh ODI series has started.

Very important and vital wicket for the India and Arshdeep Singh as he sends back Tony de Zorzi on 81 in 30th over of the match with now requirement is 127 in 18 overs and required rate is almost 7 which is looking not easy but still fight is on between two teams David Miller and Klaasen on crease for the South Africa and Indian captain K Rahul bring back his main attacking bowlers which is good decision if they are able to give one more wicket then surely things can take good move for the Indian win.
No doubt we are going to have very exciting end of this series between these two teams which are having mostly youngsters and looking for good performance from them specially Tony de Zorzi is going to be best for the home side with his good and quality batting.
Edit: Avesh Khan takes another good wicket, Klaasen out match taking good turn.

Sai Sudarshan is not only a good batter but a good fielder too. What an amazing catch by this guy which took out Klassen. I never thought that this Indian side woul be so competitive against South Africa. Five wickets have gone, asking run rate is now going to moon. Situation is tilting in favour of India, they need another wicket and then no one could stop them from winning the series.
December 21, 2023, 12:38:30 PM
The target 297 is big but the South African batters are showing their magic. Specially De Zorzi who is 81 runs not out at the moment. The South African batters are doing great currently. They have 7 wickets in hand and Tony de Zorzi looking to score another hundred. They need 144 runs from 22 Overs which is pretty achievable.
The one who needs to show their magic right now are Indian bowlers. Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan need to show the magic they showed in the first match. They seemed to be struggling right now. Washington Sundar has been very economical and not letting the Proteas scoring much runs.
If Klaasen and Zorzi who are on the pitch right now can keep it up, South Africa will be able to win the series.
Both teams had ups and downs this series but finding Zorzi has been the biggest win for South Africa. He can be the next Hashim Amla and De kock for South Africa.

Indian bowlers have done a good job so far. Top 4 South African batsmen are back to pavilion and still 123 runs required in 18 overs. David Miller is only batsmen that can take South Africa to victory in this match. With over passing over there will be more pressure on South African batsmen and thats where Indian bowlers have chance to take the game away from South Africa. Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh both have 7 overs to share and that's where Indian have edge over South Africans.

With a target of 297 runs given by the Indian team, it became very difficult for the South African team to hope to win the match. In today's match, the bowlers of the South African team failed to use their strategy. The fans of the South African team have become very upset with the poor performance of the bowlers of the South African team. From the start of the game, it looked like South Africa's bowlers would be able to prevent India from scoring big. But the bowlers of the South African team were trapped by the great batting skills of the Indian team batsmen. Now in the second innings game, if the batsmen of the South African team can show a magical surprise in batting. Only then will there be a possibility of winning this match against India. Now let's see if the South African team players can win the hearts of the fans by playing well in today's match

Definitely better option than their WC captain Bavuma. 
So far SA is cruising in this match after couple of wickets and inexperience in the bowling is visible. Atleast they will try part-time bowlers in this match because for pacers the pitch offers nothing on the other side the ball spins but both the spinners are not that much of spinners.
162 needed from 25 overs with 8 wickets in hand.

I would even say that South Africa is performing relatively well in this series because Bavuma is not playing. He was a massive handicap for the otherwise talented South African side. But then, once in a while talented players such as Tony de Zorzi break through the ranks, only to be left high and dry by the team management. Keegan Petersen is a prime example. He performed so well against India back in 2021-22. But then he simply vanished from the international scene. His last match was almost a year ago, against West Indies.

Tony de Zorzi is a new good discovery for SA. He was not out on 119 runs in last game and right now batting on 57 runs. Still a long way to go for SA, they need 200 runs in 30 overs with 8 wickets in hands. We cant say who is favourite at the moment as both teams have equal chances of winning the game. India need wickets specially of Tony de Zorzi. SA must keep a check on asking rate, its touching 7 runs per over and if keep on going up then things may go bad for SA towards the end.
Definitely better option than their WC captain Bavuma.

Yeah, South Africa is chasing very competitive target 297 and things are at level for the both teams but new blood Tony de Zorzi is having very impressive performance after ending 119 in second ODI of this series now again he is standing for his team and between victory and India 65 on 68 balls is good inning from him.In early hour of South African inning this was looking easy for them to do this all but now with the spinners things are taking good change and Indian bowlers bring their team back into action Patel and Sunder both are doing good job we will have entertaining end of this match and series but if India able to have few quick wickets then surely things could be easy for them.

In this match 297 target is not a big target for the South African team. I think if they have wickets they will definitely win. South Africa have some batsmen who can play devastating. But they are not guaranteed. It is difficult to compare them because when they play well there beyond any competitors again when they can not perform it seems they are not worthy to play in any competitive match. According to the position it is still difficult to speculate about the status of today's match. South Africa trying to play defensively after the fall of two wickets. They need big partnerships at this point.

South Africa vs India India set a target of 297 runs to South Africa in the third ODI. India team lost two wickets for 40 runs and was under a lot of pressure. Samson batted well. Samson scored 108 runs off 114 balls. South Africa team is batting well in India's target of 297 runs. If South Africa can play today's match then maybe South Africa can win in the third ODI. Of course we have to wait a little longer for the results. But looking at South Africa's current playing condition, it seems that South Africa can win today's match. The current score of the South African team is 92 runs for 2 wickets in 17 overs.
December 21, 2023, 11:30:41 AM
In the third ODI, South Africa won the toss and decided to field to target. Although India are chatting at the moment but their runs have not increased comparatively much, for which they have not been able to reach 200 runs so far. Indian team batsman Sanju Samson has been batting brilliantly, he is playing perfectly for his century and he has collected 64 runs off 90 balls. If India can bat till the last minute and score 250+ runs, it might be an interesting game against South Africa. Although South Africa are preparing to play today's match with a target so that they can win the series by winning the third ODI match. However, South Africa will try hard enough to win today's match, and I think if South Africa can bat well then it is possible against India.
Sanju Samson is going well and made 96 runs. And India has made 230 and lost 4 wickets. If Sanju Samson will play till end so I hope India will go above 280 runs. And if India will go above 280 runs so this will be good target for South Africa team. And this will be little bit difficult to chase. And now while writing this message Sanju Samson has made his century. And India has played 44 overs and 6 overs are left so there is possibility that India can go above 280 runs.
December 21, 2023, 11:30:12 AM
For now it looks like the game between India and South Africa is evenly poised. 297 is a defendable target, looks like the South African batters are struggling at the moment. The RR is going up as the CRR is way low for the time being, 2 wickets have been gone. Spinners are doing their best to create more pressure on the South African batters. If they as in the batters don't get a couple of boundaries soon then we can expect a few more wickets.
