Pitch Report: India vs South Africa: 3rd T20I
The Holkar Stadium pitch is a true pitch that offers consistent bounce and carries which will keep the batsmen confident in playing their shots. The stadium has very short boundaries and this could add to the woes of bowlers here. Some of the high-scoring matches like India scoring 260 with the help of Rohit Sharma's 118 came at this ground in the past.

Team News:
India:
India outperformed their opponents first time in a T20I series leading 2-0 with one match left to play. Bowlers performed in the first T20I while batters destroyed the Proteas bowling lineup in the second one. KL Rahul and Suryakumar smashed two half-centuries in two games while KL won the Man of the Match award in the second.

The good news from the side is skipper Rohit and Virat both have scored some runs. However, Bumrah is officially ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, with previously ruled out of the SA T20I series. Will India be able to record a historic clean sweep here at Holkar?
South Africa:
Meanwhile, for the visitors, it's their first T20I series loss against India. Previously, they have drawn with India when they visited the country earlier this year in June. Skipper Temba Bavuma and his men will be looking to change gears and end with a win and go with confidence for the T20 World Cup. In the first T20I, SA faced a huge batting collapse while bowlers failed in the second.

The only positive thing from the side is De Kock and Miller, De Kock scored a half-century in the second while the latter scored a century in the last game. However, except Maharaj, each and every bowler was thrashed by Indian batters. Now, the Proteas side will be looking to make some important changes in the squad for the final T20I. Will Bavuma and his men will be able to overcome their losing streak to end with a good win here at Indore?
