India decide to bowl in series-decider against South Africa
India won the toss and elected to bowl in the third and final ODI against South Africa in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, setting the stage for a high-stakes series decider. The three-match series is currently locked at 1-1, and both sides enter the contest with everything to play for.
India, looking to regain momentum after an inconsistent run, face significant pressure to deliver under home conditions. On the other hand, Temba Bavuma’s South Africa come into the match with confidence following a commanding win in the second ODI. After already securing a clean sweep in the Test series, the visitors will aim to extend their dominance and clinch the ODI series as well.
India have made one change, dropping Washington Sundar for Tilak Varma. There are also two changes for South Africa. Nandre Burger and Tony de Zorzi have been left out due to injuries. Ottneil Baartman and Ryan Rickelton have been brought in.
India XI: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul (c&wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna
South Africa XI: Ryan Rickelton, Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Matthew Breetzke, Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Ottneil Baartman
