The third T20I between South Africa and India is set to be played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, with the hosts leading the series 1-0.
The first T20I that was to be played at Kingsmead, Durban, was abandoned without even the toss taking place as rain played spoilsport.
The second T20I was also threatened by rain. Fortunately, we got a result as South Africa beat India by five wickets and seven balls to spare.
Batting first, India put on 180 runs at the loss of seven wickets after 19.3 overs before rain halted play. The match was reduced as the rainfall ate up five overs. India didn't come out to bat as the revised DLS target for the Proteas was 152 in 15 overs, which they chased without much hassle.
The Sporting News takes a look at the detailed weather forecast for Thursday ahead of the third and final T20I.
