India will lock horns against South Africa in the 3rd ODI at Boland Park, Paarl, on Thursday evening.
India won the first ODI at Johannesburg, while South Africa responded perfectly at Gqeberha. It all boils down to Paarl, as the two teams fight for the silverware. A win at Paarl would see India lift their second-ever ODI bilateral series in nine visits to the Rainbow Nation.

KL Rahul & Co. would hope to seal the fate of the series after a dampened display in Gqeberha. On the other hand, the hosts would be buzzing after the win at Port Elizabeth. Aiden Markram & Co. have the momentum on their side. India would have to lift themselves up from the crushing defeat in the previous game.
The Indians are playing with a second-string side, as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya are all rested after a hectic World Cup. Pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami have been given a break too. It would be massive for a young Indian side to script history in South Africa by lifting the bilateral ODI series trophy.
