After losing the second T20I to some casual batting, India’s line-up will be tested again on the pace-friendly pitch of Centurion in the third T20I against South Africa on Wednesday.

In the second T20I, India’s top order struggled and managed just 124 for six as they faltered against the South African pacers.

Abhishek Sharma’s lack of runs has become a matter of concern. The team management could also consider playing Tilak Verma as an opener and give Ramandeep Singh a debut for more depth in the lower order.

Key hitters Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Rinku Singh have also delivered inconsistent performances. While Pandya scored 39 in the last match, he was slow and struggled to find boundaries. Samson, who has a hundred and one ducks, will have to find consistency.

On the bowling side, Arshdeep Singh will be looking for redemption after conceding 28 runs in his last two overs. He could also be rested to make way for Yash Dayal. The spinners, Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, have excelled, and the jump here could help them further.

For South Africa, seasoned batters like Aiden Markram, David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen have yet to make an impact and their contributions could be crucial against the Indian spinners.
