India’s captain KL Rahul has won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the third ODI.

“We’ll bowl first. We trained here last night and noticed some dew, though it wasn’t as early as what we saw in Ranchi and Raipur. We want to chase and see how we can bowl first. The pitch looks good. We are really happy with how we performed in the last two matches. One change. Washington misses out, Tilak comes in,” KL Rahul said.

“We would’ve preferred to bowl first as well. A strong start at the top can really set things up for the middle order.

It’s been a lively series so far, and the crowd has shown great energy. Hopefully today brings another exciting contest. We’re making two changes, Rickelton and Baartman come in, while Burger and de Zorzi will miss out,”Temba Bavuma said.
