IND vs SA 3rd T20I Dream11 Prediction: After facing a defeat in the second fixture of the ongoing three-match T20I series, India and South Africa will lock horns in the 3rd T20I in Johannesburg on December 14, 2023. The fixture will begin at 8:30 PM IST.



The opening T20I between India and South Africa was washed out due to rain and the remaining fixtures of the game became utterly important for the participating teams, who are already running short on T20I games ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. 



South Africa went over the line in the second game held in Gqeberha, a few nights ago. This game, too, had a bit of rain interruption, but eventually, the proceedings were carried forward with the help of the DLS method.



Team India scored 180 runs before the rain played spoilsport and then South Africa were given a revised target of 154 runs, which the hosts comfortably chased. 



The Proteas are already 1-nil up in the three-game T20I series and now the situation has become do or die for the Indians, who have travelled to South Africa riding on the back of a T20I series win against Australia in home.

The New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg has turned out to be a batting-friendly surface. The outings at this venue have been fruitful for the batters. However, the surface could assist the bowlers as well due to the moisture present in it due to continuous rain. The teams have liked to chase at this venue as per the records. The average first innings score is 173.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I Playing11, Dream11 Prediction, India vs South Africa Dream11 Team, New Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg Pitch Report, India Playing11 | India tour of South Africa 2023-24

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Strongest Playing11 for India &amp; South Africa: The three-match T20I series between India and South Africa has reached its climax as we discuss the playing combination for the 3rd T20I, scheduled to commence on December 14. New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg will host the fixture, starting at 8:30 PM IST.



 The T20I series got an unexpected intruder in rain to start the series with. The first T20I between India and South Africa couldn't even see the toss due to poor weather conditions. Incessant rain played spoilsport in Durban, a few nights ago, and the game ended in a no-result.



With one game already lost to rain, the remaining two games become important for the participating teams. More so, if a big competition is lined up ahead, next year.



India took a hit in the second T20I held in Gqeberha. Despite doing good with their batting, India's bowling remained concerning. Indian bowlers leaked runs aplenty in the powerplay itself and subsequently lost the game by five wickets.



Now the third IND vs SA fixture poses a do-or-die situation for the Indians. The visitors can't win the series now, the only possible fruitful result for them is to draw the three-game T20I series 1-1 by winning the third T20I. If they lose this one as well, the Proteas will clinch the T20I series comfortably 2-0.



In the upcoming third T20I, India's playing11 is expected to undergo a couple of changes. Down below we have discussed a few of them.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Strongest Playing11 for India</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/08/Yashasvi-Jaiswal-Shubman-Gill.jpg" alt="IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Strongest Playing11 for India &amp; South Africa, Squad Details | India vs South Africa 3rd T20I" class="wp-image-117676" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">AFP via Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



Team India played Shubman Gill in the second game as a replacement for Ruturaj Gaikwad, who suffered a minor back spasms. Gaikwad is likely to return to the playing11 in the third game. 



In another change, Ravi Bishnoi could be introduced into the playing combination once again for the last T20I, replacing Kuldeep Yadav. Bishnoi has memorable outings against Australia in home conditions.



The other changes to the side may include the comeback of Shreyas Iyer for Jitesh Sharma and pacer Deepak Chahar for Arshdeep Singh.

The Proteas would have liked to continue their winning combination, but they will have to induce a couple of forced changes into the side. Nandre Burger and Ottniel Baartman are expected to make their debuts in the format, replacing all-rounder Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee, who have been rested for the 3rd T20I. There are some chances that South Africa may bring in Donovan Ferreira into the playing11.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Two matches till now in the series, both were affected by rain and now New Wanderers is coming up with new hopes as the weather is forecasted to be better than the previous venues. India will lock horns against the host South Africa in the third T20I match at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg on 14 Dec '23 and we brought to you the IND vs SA 3rd T20I Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast, and Pitch Report of New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To: </h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sa-3rd-t-20-i-weather-forecast">IND vs SA 3rd T20I Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sa-3rd-t-20-i-rain-prediction">IND vs SA 3rd T20I Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pitch-report-of-new-wanderers-stadium-johannesburg">Pitch Report of New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg</a></li></ul></nav></div>



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.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/India-vs-South-Africa-3rd-T20I.jpg" alt="IND vs SA 3rd T20I Playing11, Dream11 Prediction, India vs South Africa Dream11 Team, New Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg Pitch Report, India Playing11 | India tour of South Africa 2023-24" class="wp-image-123642" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Associated Press</figcaption></figure>



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.



Down below is the IND vs SA 3rd T20I Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast, and Pitch Report of New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg:

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Team India's stand-in captain, Suryakumar Yadav has added another feather to his cap as he registered yet another T20I century in the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. With another century knock, Suryakumar Yadav has equalled Rohit Sharma and Glenn Maxwell's records of Players with the most T20I centuries.



The batter scored a magnificent 55-ball 100 against South Africa in the third T20I at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. He not only saved the team from the top-order debacle but also took the team to a dominating total, and ensured India doesn't lose the do-or-die fixture.



During his century knock against South Africa, Suryakumar Yadav tonked eight maximums along with seven boundaries. His overall strike rate clocked 178.57.



This was his fourth century in the T20Is and his first as the captain of the Indian team. He has previously scored centuries in the format against Sri Lanka, England and New Zealand. With a total of four T20I centuries, Suryakumar Yadav is now tied with seasoned opener Rohit Sharma and Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell in the elite list of players with the most T20I centuries.



All the three aforementioned players have amassed four centuries apiece in the format. Below are the details of the record:



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>No</td><td>Player</td><td>Country</td><td>T20I Centuries</td><td>Innings</td><td>Runs Scored</td></tr><tr><td>01</td><td>Rohit Sharma</td><td>India</td><td>04</td><td>140</td><td>3853</td></tr><tr><td>=</td><td>Glenn Maxwell</td><td>Australia</td><td>04</td><td>92</td><td>2275</td></tr><tr><td>=</td><td>Suryakumar Yadav</td><td>India&nbsp;</td><td>04</td><td>57</td><td>2141</td></tr><tr><td>04</td><td>Babar Azam</td><td>Pakistan</td><td>03</td><td>98</td><td>3485</td></tr><tr><td>=</td><td>S Davizi</td><td>Czech Republic</td><td>03</td><td>31</td><td>1149</td></tr><tr><td>=</td><td>Colin Munro</td><td>New Zealand</td><td>03</td><td>62</td><td>1724</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">*As of December 14, 2023.</figcaption></figure>

Riding on the back of a sensational century off the skipper's blade, Team India posted a colossal 201-run target for the Proteas. Besides Yadav, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal played 60 run knock in 41 delivers and aided Team India to post a big total.



South Africa had a herculean task in front of them and the players couldn't absorb the pressure. The Indians removed South African openers cheaply and kept building pressure. 



Middle-order batter David Miller ended the game with the highest run scorer for South Africa with just 25 runs knock. While none of the other batters could produce a substantial effort to hunt the 201-run target.



Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav clinched five wickets in the game and helped Team India reduce South Africa to a scanty score of 95 runs in just 13.5 overs. Team India won the contest by 106 runs and levelled the three-match T20I series 1-1.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav joins Rohit Sharma, Maxwell in list of Players with Most T20I Centuries

ind-vs-sa-3rd-t20i-suryakumar-yadav-joins-rohit-sharma-maxwell-in-list-of-players-with-most-t20i-centuries

Australia Cricket Team has faced a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out the entire tournament with a back injury, and there are chances that he might miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 
Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with his back ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started. The pacer looked in pain but continued playing for Australia before he was dropped from the team as Beau Webster replaced him for the last match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. 
Following that, Mitchell Marsh played a single game in the Big Bash League, and after that,t, he was rested from the last three matches of the BBL season to mentally and physically refresh ahead of the ICC  Champions Trophy 2025. However, it came as a big surprise that selectors ruled him out. 
<h2>Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction - Cricket Australia </h2>
Cricket Australia released the official statement, saying that the all-rounder has been ruled out with lower back pain and dysfunction. The statement added that they made the decision, keeping in mind the long-term plan, adding that they will be naming a replacement soon. 
"Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction. The National Selection Panel and Australian men's medical team ruled Marsh out of the tournament with the injury which has not responded sufficiently to rehabilitation. 
"His lower back pain flared in recent weeks, leading the NSP to make the longer-term decision for Marsh to complete a more extended period of rehabilitation. Marsh will now undergo a period of further rest and rehabilitation as part of his return-to-play plan. The NSP will meet to decide on a replacement for Marsh in due course." Statement from Cricket Australia read. 
Mitchell Marsh getting ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 comes as a huge blow. The all-rounder has been the key member of the team in the white-ball cricket. Since 2023, he has been sensational with the bat, as he has averaged 44.54 in ODIs with a strike rate of 109.13. Along with this, he also has been handy with the ball. 
Cricket Australia are also mulling over the fitness of captain Pat Cummins as well. The pacer has been struggling with the ankle injury and there is no clarity over him as well. If both Marsh and Cummins get ruled out, then there will be headaches for the management as they won't have a captaincy option. 
Steve Smith and Travis Head might be asked to take over the role then. Josh Inglis also is there as he recently led the team in home summer, both in T20Is and ODIs.

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<hr>
<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks.

Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option.

Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers.

This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface.

Wicket-Keeper: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C1) Batters: Surya Kumar Yadav, Den Duckett, Tilak Verma(C2) Allrounders: Hardik Pandya (VC), Liam Livingstone, J Overton Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, V Chakravarthy, Mark Wood

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
