South Africa:
South Africa well started to groom Quinton de Kock as a captain ahead of T20 World Cup 2020 but, did not get the result as they wanted in the 2nd T20I however, here also we expect some changes can be made in their playing xi Junior Dala coming in for Anrich Nortje, rest should retain their place.
Predicted XI: Reeza Hendricks, Quinton de Kock (C & WK), Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Bjorn Fortuin, Kagiso Rabada, Junior Dala, Tabraiz Shamsi
Top Picks:
Wicket-keeper: Quinton de Kock (10 credits)
The captain led from the front last time out, hitting 52 off 37 balls at the top of the order and moreover, he has an excellent record against India. However, his record against left-arm spinners is not good if he gets past, de Kock should be able to keep his run going.
Batsman: Virat Kohli (10.5 credits)
His unbeaten 72 from 52 balls in the last game where he guided India to a victory and moreover, as he plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL where he knows about the conditions very well which makes his case stronger. Furthermore, his average of 40.83 in T20I against South Africa should be enough to make an easy pick for this game.
All-rounder: Hardik Pandya (9.5 credits)
Though he didn't get the opportunity to bat in his last game, Pandya has everything runs, wickets, catches, and strike-rate which make him a great all-round package. Moreover, on a wicket that promises runs, you know he can get a few big ones at the death too and can offer you lots of points if he walks in early to bat.
Bowler: Deepak Chahar (8.5 credits)
The last time when Chahar bowled against South Africa in the 2nd T20I, he troubled the South African openers with his swing and moreover, he has been brilliant with the new ball in the last game where he claimed two wickets and could be the key to India's success on Sunday as well.
Captain options: Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock
