SA vs IND: Players to Watch out for
Sai Sudharshan has scored two half-centuries in both ODIs and is the leading run-scorer for India in the series. The southpaw has looked technically sound, has done a pretty good job, and will be the player to watch out for in the final ODI.
Tony de Zorzi struck a brilliant ton in the second ODI and led his team to a successful run chase to level the series. The left-hander will be confident enough to do that one more time in the final game and will look to carry on his form.

The surface at Boland Park is more in the favor of the bowlers. It is a bit slow and slugglish, which helps the spinners more. We will see a good contest between bat and ball while the team batting second has a better record at this venue.
