The third match of the ODI series between South Africa and India has started. Today's match is very important for both the teams to win the series. The team that wins today's match will win the series. Both teams have collected 1-1 from the previous two matches. I have picked South Africa as the favorite team in today's crucial match of this series. The South African team is bowling at the beginning of today's match. The bowlers of the South African team have so far bowled 9.5 overs and managed to knock down 2 batsmen of the Indian team. If the bowlers of the South African team can put the batsmen of the Indian team under severe pressure in today's match. Then it will be very easy for South African team to win the match against India. I think South Africa fans are likely to profit by betting on today's match.
Matches between India and South Africa are very tight throughout the day as South Africa bowled very well today due to which India scored only 135 runs in 31 overs. Their run rate is very low in this game and it looks like India might lose the match against South Africa. South Africa has really gone to a very good level in the game of cricket and are they overtaking India too. India has been seen losing matches against South Africa before. The same is likely to happen today.

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
Before start of the South African inning I was also thinking like you this is going to be tough target for them but as they are batting look like things are now changed for the batsmen, and they are doing all without any problem specially Tony de Zorzi started his inning as he ended in previous match very aggressive and solid looking.Most of the Indian bowlers are looking crap after winning first game things are completely going against them, and they are leaking too many runs which is surely a problem for them currently after end of the 8 overs we have 59 runs on board and pitch is also looking batting friendly; if they keep playing like this we can have another big win for them in this match and series as well which could be big below for the Indian team before test series.

Samson's fan will have a field day tonight 
and they deserve it.
Very Impressive and sensible ton from Sanju, it was tough to bat on as the pitch is slow so I think this inning will impress selectors or his critics as well. Almost 5 overs left so need a strong finish from Sanju and Rinku, anything close to 280-290 would be a competitive score here.

Samson did it what he was supposed to all these time. Scored a big century against a good opponent and proved that he deserves a place in the squad.
There were people talking about him not being able to prove anything in the national team and he did it today. Hope he gets more chances and continues to be like this.
India has gathered a score of 296 and it's a good score as you said. South Africa are 1 wicket down and scored 59 runs in 8.2 overs. I think it's still a 50-50 and it may go both ways.

It's good SA won previous game, keeps excitement alive for the last. Hope to see change regarding Tilak Verma, he should be rested, didn't do anything in T20 series or in these ODIS.
Tilak Verma is playing ODI matches in Test style. In today's ODI match, India must bat in T20 style, then maybe the runs could have been over 350. But if India must win today's match, they must score runs in T20 style in the next 10 overs and take the team score above 300 runs. samson is unbeaten on 95 and Tilak Verma is unbeaten on 48 off 75 balls. However, 48 runs off 75 balls did not look good for India in this ODI match. December 21, 2023, 10:33:58 AM
India makes 296, looks good total as wicket looks difficult to bat on. I'm drifting towards India to win this one. Sanju, Tilak needed to mark and they did, Rinku as expected turning out to be a good finisher.
Rinku Singh got real talents and he is proving it match after match, hope he will go with the same flow in the future matches too because finisher spot is there to be filled in the Indian team.
Finally, Sanju posted a ton and justified why he has been given chance but is this enough for the selectors to keep him in the loop or the story won't be changed?

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.

India VS South Africa
Today is the last match of South Africa vs India ODI series. As both the teams have won one match each, today's match is an important match for both the teams. As the series is tied at 1-1, today's match is going to be the final match. South Africa batting first in the first match could not give the target enough runs. India easily won the first match. In the second match, South Africa turned around with a brilliant performance, and beat India easily. So we expect to see this match full of rivalry today. The team that wins today will win the series. Let's see which team can show great performance and win the series.
This South Africa vs India match is going to be really competitive. As both the teams are currently tied with one match each, if they win the third ODI match in today's match, either of the two teams will definitely win the series. If India can match the impressive performance they did in the first ODI against South Africa today, then it is definitely winnable. And if South Africa can perform as well as batting and bowling in the second match, then they will surely win a wonderful series in their own home ground.Today is the last match of South Africa vs India ODI series.

But it seems that India will play well against South Africa in today's match and they will be able to win.This is my thinking.But there is one truth about the game of cricket which is that cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty.The team that plays well on the field will win.
The Indian team today defended the wicket but could not advance in terms of runs. Currently India team has collected 235 in 44 overs with the loss of 4 wickets. But I can say that the performance of the Indian team is very good as Samson scored a century in 110 balls and completed 100 runs. In this way, if the Indian team can finish the game completely, then they can collect 280 plus runs. South Africa team is not performing well in terms of fielding. So far 16 runs have gone extra due to South African team's fielding and bowling missing.
Even after winning second match they are also confident, but now this is big target and conditions are also bowling favorable so now we will have good match between all young blood from these both countries with I am now favoring India for the win they are going good job throughout after lost in ODI world cup final.

India VS South Africa
[....]
Today match is very important match for both squads because this match will decide who will win this competition. In this match, South Africa squad performance was not impressive too much as expected because South Africa sqaud was not break batters of Indian squad at low scores and India squad collected 296 scores and too close for 300 but now their batting inning was closed and total 296 scores was defended target off 50 overs. Both sqaud ls have equal possibility for victory in today match if south Africa sqaud played well in batting inning then they definitely emerge victory but Indian squad bowlers is also very dangerous and they should not underestimate their bowling.

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.

135 in 31 over with 3 wickets down is not a slow game. The run rate is over 4 and with wickets on hand, any team would score about 250 with this run rate at current time as the run rate would increase over the last 10 overs. India is doing good with it singles and overall they are batting at a good rate and could reach above 250.
The previous two ODIs were also low scoring ones. This games seems would be the highest scoring game of the whole series. I see India winning at this rate as it would be difficult for South Africa to chase a larger score against the Indian bowling.

Tilak started of like a test inning, probably because what happened in the last match and now he got the pace too since he is known for fast scoring. On the other side good to see Sanju Samson playing responsibly, hope he will play the Anchor role cause he is the senior player now and taking the responsibility is one of the reason to have a permanent slot.
