South Africa currently holds a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, clinching a five-wicket victory in the rain-affected second match. Rain has played a pivotal role, with the first game washed out and the second game disrupted but yielding a result.
India, batting first in the second encounter, managed 180/7 in 19.3 overs before rain intervened once more. With a revised total to chase in 15 overs, South Africa achieved the target in 13.5 overs, securing victory with five wickets in hand. The upcoming match becomes crucial for India as they aim to level the series while the Proteas target a series win.
New Wanderers Stadium pitch is one of South Africa’s finest batting tracks. Known for its hard surface and short boundaries, this venue sets the stage for high-scoring encounters. The lightning-quick outfield adds to the advantage for batsmen. However, the pacers are not left empty-handed, as they can exploit the surface’s extra bounce, potentially posing challenges for the batting lineup.
