Both Indian women and Proteas would be hoping a full game after the second game was kept inside the box due to rain.
Both the teams have won a single game in the series and this upcoming clash would give a possible lead to the deserved team. India would want to double their advantage in the five-game series against South Africa.
Let me remind you, India had lost their previous seven WT20i matches in a row before this series and now they would try every possible way to get back on the track.
The match is set to begin at Lalabhai Contractor Stadium, Surat.
