SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction for India tour of South Africa 2023 3rd ODI, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

South Africa(SA) secured a commanding 8-wicket victory over India (IND) in the 2nd ODI held at St George's Park. The match unfolded on an unusual pitch, typically known for its slow conditions but this time favouring seam bowling. In a strategic move, South Africa bolstered their team by adding two fast bowlers, a decision that paid dividends as Nandre Burger, a tall and quick left-arm bowler, stole the spotlight by getting 3 wickets in the match.

South Africa's batting display, spearheaded by Tony de Zorzi and Reeza Hendricks, paved the way for a comfortable win. De Zorzi, in particular, was the man of the match as he scored his maiden ODI century. Now both the teams will face each other on December 22 in the series decider at Boland Park in Paarl.
