South Africa is already leading the series 1-0 after they defeated India in the 2nd T20I. Batting first, India got a shaky start but Tilak and Surya retaliated positively. SKY smashed a half-century and Rinku's 68*(39) pumped India's innings to 180 in 19.3 overs when rain intervened.

South Africa's updated target was to score 152 runs in 15 overs. Hendricks and Breetzke scored 42 off of 17 balls to put their side on a rapid pace. The latter fell victim to a run-out, but the stage was already laid. Hendricks was hitting the ball with all of his might from the opposite end as Markram entered and expertly carried it.

India managed to come back a little bit after picking up a few wickets, but it was too little too late, as South Africa triumphed by five wickets.

Now, the fight for India is to take at least some ground in the 3rd T20I, and for South Africa, it will be more for locking up the series. For Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee to get ready for the next Test series, they have been announced as unavailable for this match. That may imply Ottniel Baartman and Nandre Burger making their debuts.

Similarly, two changes are expected in Indian playing 11 as well. Shubman Gill might make way for Ruturaj Gaikwad, who didn't play on Tuesday due to illness. Ravi Bishnoi looks set to crack the nod ahead of Kuldeep Yadav who didn't have anything much to show in the 2nd T20I.
