The third T20I between India (IND) and South Africa (SA) is set to take place at the Dr Y.S Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, 14th June.
South Africa have been brilliant and are a win away from sealing a T20I series win. The likes of Kagiso Rabada and Rassie van der Dussen have been sensational, stepping up big time to hand the Proteas a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. However, they come across a strong Indian side who are due a big performance. With a balanced squad at their disposal, India will fancy their chances of a win in what should be another cracking game between the two sides.

Pitch Report
A competitive track awaits the two sides with some help on offer for both the batters and bowlers. The new ball should do a bit for the pacers, who will be key in the powerplay phase. As the match progresses, the pitch can slow down a touch and bring the spinners into play. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today's IND v SA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant hasn't been in the best of form in the series, unable to get going in the middle overs. However, the southpaw is one of the most destructive batters in the world, with his ability against spin being noteworthy. With the Indian captain due for a big one, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Rassie van der Dussen: Rassie van der Dussen, in the likely absence of Quinton de Kock, perhaps becomes South Africa's go-to batter in the third game. The right-hander averages in excess of 40 in the format, indicating his effectiveness in the top order. With van der Dussen in decent form, he can be backed to put in another good performance.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya has not been able to translate his IPL 2022 form over to the international scene, scoring just 40 runs and conceding 49 runs in the four overs he has bowled in the series. However, he remains India's best all-round option and should be a handy pick in your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kagiso Rabada: Although Kagiso Rabada has only picked up one wicket in the series, his economy rate is an impressive 6.25. Rabada has been sensational both in the powerplay and death overs, stifling batters with his accuracy and variations. Given the form that he is in, Rabada is a must-have in your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
