IND vs SA: India registered their second win of the series to take the lead in the series as India dominated the two matches at the Centurion.
The first game showcased Sanju Samson's brilliance as he scored a second successive T20I hundred to help India become high flyers while the Indian bowlers did the remaining work to dismiss the Proteas early on for a huge win that boosted their morale.
The South Africans staged a comeback in the second game as India, despite fighting well, failed to secure a win in the series thanks to the help of Stubbs to a win in the low-scoring thriller.
Later, the Indians came back again with their impressive performance at Centurion as Tilak Varma scored his maiden T20I hundred while Arshdeep later became India's second highest wicket-taker.
India is expected to play 11 players for the final T20I match:
Opening Bats: Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma
Samson, the centurion from the first game, scored repeated ducks in the following games and will still be in the 11 due to a lack of options at the opening batsman position.
Abhishek, on the other hand, the dynamic left-hander who scored his impressive 25-ball fifth in the last game, will find a place in India's series-deciding game.
Middle-order batters: Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ramandeep Singh and Jitesh Sharma
The left-handed batsman played an impressive hand in India's last winning run where he scored a stunning hundred and will be part of India scoring 11 points in the upcoming matches.
Skipper Suryakumar could try to bring in the middle-order finisher Jitesh Sharma after Rinku Singh was unable to access much of his game in the South African series.
All-rounders: Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel
The all-rounder's desk seems very tidy for India as India will have players like Pandya and Axar Patel, the pace-spin duo, as all-rounders.
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy and Yash Dayal
Arshdeep Singh will be looking to become India's all-time leading wicket-taker in the shortest format of the game as he is just 5 wickets away from the historic feat at just 25 years of age.
Chakravarthy, who has had an excellent record in T20 tournaments since returning from the Bangladesh series, will once again be joined as lead spinner. While Ravi Bishnoi has had a tough hand at taking wickets, he could finally make way for debutant Dayal.
