South Africa vs India Chance of Winning
After a draw in the T20I series, India and South Africa are tied at 1-1 in the ODI series after two games. The winner of the next game will win the ODI series and move into the Test series looking confident.
India made a fantastic start to the series with a win but they looked a bit off their usual form in the second ODI of the series. The batters were unable to score many runs in the previous game due to the fiery Proteas bowling order. However, India will look to make a comeback in the next game with a squad of their calibre.
South Africa bounced back in the second ODI with a terrific feat in their bowling unit. Their bowlers were able to pick quick wickets in the game. With a bit of hiccup from two batters, South Africa were able to carry momentum while bundling out the lower order batters quickly for a low and an easy target in the game. The series is tied at 1-1 and the team will be keen to display a taste of the dominant win ratio against India in the 50-over format.
India's chance of winning: 45%
South Africa' chance of winning: 55%
South Africa vs India Betting Tips
India to score under 31.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)
India have introduced a fresh lot in their ODI series. Sai Sudarshan and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been given the responsibility to open for the team in the series. Sai Sudarshan batted incredibly in both the games but it was Gaikwad who seemed a bit off in the two games. Gaikwad lost his wicket the earliest in both the games and scored 5 & 4 runs in those outings. The duo together posted 23 & 4 runs before the first team dismissal. This poses a reason to worry for the team management. Both the batters are inexperienced in the format and are more likely to lose their wicket early in the third ODI as well. Nandre Burger and Beuran Hendricks have been pretty impressive with the ball and troubled the Indian batters in the early overs.

South Africa vs India Toss Prediction
There has been no clear advantage to either bowling or batting first on this ground. However, considering the strengths of both sides, we reckon bowling first will be the right way to go. It will allow the consistent wicket-takers in both teams to put pressure on the opposition and gain the upper hand in the match.
