India defeated the South African side in a one-sided game to clinch the first T20I of the series, but the Proteas side returned the favour as they thrashed India in the second game to level the 5-match series. India needed 214 to win the contest in the second T20I, but the Men in Blue crumbled and will be under pressure heading into the game in Dharamsala.
The Proteas side will be confident heading into the contest as the momentum is on their side, but the question arises: can India make a comeback?. Ahead of the 3rd T20I, let us take a look at what transpired at the toss and the changes made by the sides.
Who won the toss today in IND Vs SA 3rd T20I?
India won the toss and Suryakumar Yadav had no hesitation in bowling first as there is plenty of dew already and chasing will become easier. Surprisingly, India have made two changes. There is no Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel in the playing XI, and they have been replaced by Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav.
(Bumrah misses out the game due to personal reasons).
South Africa have made 3 changes today. Anrich Nortje comes in, Corbin Bosch comes in, Stubbs comes in. Lutho Sipamla, George Linde and Davey Miller miss out.
