THE TEAM NEWS

SOUTH AFRICA

• South Africa produced another strong display to claim an unassailable lead in their three-game ODI series with India and they will now go in search of a brilliant whitewash after claiming a seven-wicket success in the second clash.
• The Proteas were able to chase down 288 in relatively comfortable fashion with a 132-run opening partnership between Janneman Malan (91) and Quinton de Kock (78) setting them on their way before Temba Bavuma (35), Aiden Markram (37*) and Rassie van der Dussen (37*) all played their part in the success.

INDIA

• India will be desperate to avoid a series whitewash after suffering a second defeat in two games to South Africa and the pressure is well and truly on in this final game against the Proteas.
• The Indians did a decent job with the bat to set 288 to win but their bowling unit could not take enough wickets to really ask questions of the South African batting line-up and they must improve with the ball in this final clash.

THE PREDICTION

South Africa recorded another impressive victory against India and are now on the verge of recording a 3-0 whitewash in this ODI series. The Proteas have been excellent with the bat in both of their games so far and with India managing to take just seven wickets in total, it is clear where their issues lie. The tourists will be eager to get off the mark to avoid what would have to be classed as an embarrassment should they suffer a whitewash but with the way the South African batsmen have performed in their two clashes so far, the hosts have to be favoured to record their third successive victory.
