IND vs SA 3rd odi Pitch Report: The last match of the 3-match ODI series between India and South Africa will be played tomorrow i.e. on 6th December. Both the teams will face each other at the ACA-VCA Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam. This match is do or die for both the teams, as the series stands at 1-1. In such a situation, the team that wins here will capture the trophy. Apart from this, the nature of Vizag pitch is also quite different. Now it remains to be seen whether a score of 300+ will be seen once again? Or will the bowlers win? Let us tell you the pitch statistics…
Vizag Team India will benefit
South Africa, captained by Temba Bavuma, and Team India, led by KL Rahul, will be quite confused about the pitch. South Africa has not played a match here yet, which can benefit the Indian team. The estimate here is that their batsmen are not in the ODI format. Now it depends on what is going on in Temba’s mind even before the toss. At the same time, the ground has been lucky for India. Despite this, the Men in Blue must be thinking that the pitch should be good so that both the bowlers and batsmen remain dominant.
How will the pitch in Visakhapatnam be?
The pitch in Visakhapatnam is assessed to be favorable for the batsmen. A lot of fours and sixes come out of the bat because the ball comes with good bounce. However, the last time an ODI match was played against India and Australia, runs were not scored easily. In that match, Team India’s batting was limited to 119. Yes, but before that in 2019 against West Indies on the same ground, the Indian team had crossed the mark of 350 runs.

Toss will play an important role in Visakhapatnam
Team India has become very angry with Sikka, which resulted in defeat in the second ODI. India has lost the toss in both the ODI matches in this series. Scored runs while batting first, but despite that won the first match by 17 runs, while lost the second after scoring 358 runs. The biggest reason behind this is excess dew. Something similar can be seen in Visakhapatnam. In the beginning fast bowlers get movement. Later the spinners get their turn. Due to not much bounce, batting is easier in the second innings. In such a situation, the captain who wins the toss will prefer to chase.
Team India’s probable playing 11: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Nitish Kumar Reddy/Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
