On December 14, cricket enthusiasts are in for a treat as India clashes with South Africa in the third T20I match of the series at Johannesburg's Wanderers Stadium. The battle is set to kick off at 8:30 pm IST, promising an exhilarating encounter between these two cricketing powerhouses.

Head to Head - In the 26 T20s played between India and South Africa, the rivalry is tight, with India securing victories in 13 matches and South Africa close behind with 11 wins. Notably, two matches, including the first T20I of this series, ended without a decisive outcome. In the last five T20 encounters with results, India emerged victorious twice, while South Africa claimed three wins.

Pitch Report - Wanderers Stadium, renowned for favoring batsmen, might witness a twist with overcast conditions benefiting fast bowlers. Batsmen, however, could capitalize on a big score if they adapt quickly to the conditions. In the 32 T20Is hosted at this iconic venue, teams batting first have won 15 times, while the chasing teams triumphed on 17 occasions. India, having played eight matches at Wanderers, aims to break a 17-year dry spell since their last T20I victory at this ground in December 2006.

Weather Report - Adding to the suspense is the weather forecast, hinting at possible rain disruptions during the night between 9-11 PM. The humidity is expected to be high at 87%, with temperatures ranging from 20-23 degrees Celsius throughout the game.

When and where to watch - Cricket enthusiasts can catch the action live on the Disney+Hotstar app and website, starting at 8:30 pm IST.

As the teams battle for supremacy, all eyes will be on the players as they navigate the challenging conditions and strive for victory in this exciting T20I showdown.
