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.

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.
The first game was won by India by 8 wickets and then the second game was won by South Africa again by 8 wickets. You can call this a coincidence but it also shows that the two matches were one-sided where in the one match India completely dominated while in the other match, South Africa dominated in the match.
In the 3rd ODI, India scored 132 in 30 overs and lost 3 wickets. Sanju Samson is looking good at 52 runs and may make big runs if he stays till the end. Rest all the batsmen had a start with Rajat Patidar making 22 runs and KL Rahul made 21 runs but they could not took the start to go on and make high score.
The match is not in the favor of India yet and it is also not in favor of South Africa, rather it is at a critical stage and both teams looking to dominate the other at the current stage.

In today's crucial match of the ODI series, South Africa is the favorite team, and India seems to be struggling. With the bat, India has already lost three wickets, including an unusual dismissal for skipper KL Rahul, who only managed to score 21 runs. A partnership is desperately needed at this moment.
It looks that there might have been over-experimentation and poor team selection for this crucial match, and now India has to deal with the consequences. There's a feeling that they might be focusing on preparing for the upcoming test series, hence giving chances to youngsters in these unnecessary ODIs. While India may lose matches, the youngsters will gain valuable exposure. However, it's questionable whether this is the right selection for becoming a winning team. South Africa should capitalize on these opportunities and win the match as well as series against India.

I think India will win today as India have already scored 102 runs for three wickets in 22 overs. Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma are now batting at the crease.A while ago Lokesh Rahul got out for just 21 runs.I expected Lakesh Rahul to play well as captain in today's match but he failed. Anyway now Sanzhu Samson is moving towards his fifty runs, maybe he will play a good role today and play an important role in his team's victory.
Today both the teams have to play well because today is the series deciding match, the team that wins today will win the series.

Sanju Samson and KL Rahul are at the crease and don't forget the fact that both these batsmen have career batting average of more than 50. However at this point they are trying to settle in rather than going for the risky shots.
They can't afford to make mistakes either because the playing XI has long tail and of course two all-rounders are there but if there are some quick wickets then the results won't be any different from previous match so team India has to play sensible to win this series.
Edit KL Rahul got out while writing so Indian fans be ready to see rare bilateral defeat by team India.

However at this point they are trying to settle in rather than going for the risky shots. On the other side, Beuran Hendricks and Nandre Burger have picked up two wickets apiece. Despite the absence of key bowlers such as Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen, the Protean bowlers are doing a very decent job. And once the spinners (Keshav Maharaj and Aiden Markram) come to bowl, it will be even more interesting.

Sanju Samson have only played one game, that being second, in first he didn't get chance to bat since score was low and early batters finished the job. Tilak verma has been given more chances and has failed, so he should be put on bench and any other should be given chance.
Sanju Samson has got lot more opportunity than Tilak Verma in his career, still he's making the same mistake as he did earlier. He won't get such opportunity in the future and if he does not bat well today then it should be considered the end of his career. There are far better batter and WK who are eagerly waiting to get a chance. I agree Tilak Verma should be removed from the playing 11 and someone else should be given a chance today. He has been an utter failure behind the wicket and in front of the wicket, last game he faced 30 balls and scored only 10 runs. No one expect such kind of performance from a newcomer like him.
India is a big country with a big population filled with talent. It takes someone to be a very good cricketer to even play a match for the Indian national team. And nobody can be given too many opportunities in the Indian squad.
Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson have been given quite a lot of opportunities. There is no doubt that both of them are talented but none of them can afford to make more mistakes at this point. Because other talented players will come and take their place. In the recent u-19 Asia Cup, although India wasn't able to win it, we saw some talented batters there as well.

Who do you think will be his replacement as a wicket-keeper and batter? Sanju Samson did not play well in the last game and I do not want him to be part of the team today. KL can do the keeping and Rajat Patidar should be given a chance same goes for Washington Sundar, they both are part of the team but are on the bench. The final match today is to decide which team will win the series, the chances of RSA winning today are better than the Indian team.

India VS South Africa
Yes today is the last match between South Africa and India. Both teams has won, 1…1 Match. And today is the last match means the final match of the series. Arshdeep Singh tried well in second match but unfortunately he got only one wicket but in the first match he was excellent in his bowling. I think if India will take first turn so India will win this match. Or if South Africa will take first turn so they will win this match. Means which team will play first will win the match.

Soumya Sarkar may gift a victory to Bangladesh today. But the interesting thing is that he hardly got any support from the other batsmen. Apart from his 169, the next top score was 45 from the no.6 batsman Mushfiqur Rahim. And it's not like the New Zealand bowlers were wayward. They bowled with tight line and length, especially Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy and William O’Rourke. Adithya Ashok, on his ODI debut did a decent job as well. Still, a Bangladesh win is not confirmed yet. The pitch looks good for batting.
Despite Soumyo Sarker's massive collection of 169, Bangladesh failed to give away the 300+ target. I do not see any improvement in Bangladesh's batting order. Soumyo played well today. But Bangladesh's top order is weak as usual. Anamul Haque 2, Shanto and Liton returned to the dressing room with 6 runs each. If these 3 experienced top order batsmen could bat well, Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 350 in today's match. I don't think 291 is enough to beat New Zealand.

Soumya Sarkar 169 on just 151 balls went useless today. Bangladesh had adequate runs on the board yet they lost the game. Mushfiqur Rahim was the second one after Sarkar to score some runs. Bangladesh could have easily scored 325 runs if rest of batsmen also made some contribution. With this win New Zealand now has also won the series and there won't be much interest left in last game.
325 would have been good, but the pitch was offering support for the batsmen as well as the bowlers. And New Zealand had experienced pacer in the form of Adam Milne (who went for 74 runs in his 10 overs). But it was the inexperienced duo of William O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy who broke the backbone of Bangladeshi batters. Soumya Sarkar was the lone player who offered resistance. If he had received some support form the other batsmen, then Bangladesh would have easily made a total of 300 or more.

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.

An easy win for SA today after they bowled out India at 211. Only two fifties in this match from India side and SA don't have to work hard to chase that small target. In first ODI we saw SA bowled out for just 116 runs and today SA was on top. Both teams are now equally popular for the last game and its not easy to predict who will win the last game.
India lost the match against South Africa. Ruturaj Gaikwad made just 4 runs in 2 balls and after that, he lost his wicket. He made 4 runs by hitting a four.
Sai Sudharsan played very well, he tried to save the Indian team in this match but the other team of India didn't stand with him. He used 83 balls and he was able to make 62. It is average runs, but at that time, these runs were very good because these runs produced confidence, and in these 62 runs he made 34 runs by using boundaries which in 7 fours and 1 six.
Regarding the final match, i reckon, India will bounce back and win the match and the series. However, nothing can be said with certainty unless we see the match results.
