LIVE | India vs South Africa, 3rd ODI in Visakhapatnam
Both teams have been strong with the bat in the first two games at Ranchi and Raipur, but the bowlers have struggled to take wickets. While India managed to defend a huge total by a narrow margin in the first ODI, they failed to do so in the second match, as South African batters chased down a score of over 350 with ease. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli scored centuries in both matches to take his ODI tally to 53.
South Africa have a chance to achieve a rare double by winning both the Test and ODI series on the same tour, something India last lost at home in 1986-87 against Pakistan. India will be eager to finally win a toss after 20 straight losses in ODIs and avoid another embarrassment at home. It will be interesting to see who takes the trophy in the 50-over format.
