IND vs RSA Match Preview
India's batters played brilliantly in the previous match. Shreyas Iyer, in particular, has scored four fifties and one century in his previous eight ODI innings. Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are also in terrific form. This match could be one dominated by the spinners and so the role of Kuldeep Yadav and Shahbaz Ahmed may be crucial. India could bring back Ravi Bishnoi for this game as well.
The South Africans have done well considering the conditions have not been in their favor at all. This next match in Delhi could be their toughest yet. David Miller and Aiden Markram are the two batters to watch out for while Keshav Maharaj and Anrich Nortje could make a big impact as well.
Weather Report
There has been a lot of rain around but the forecast does improve around the time that the match will start. All the rain could make the outfield a bit heavier as well.
Pitch Report
The groundsman would not have had the ideal time to prepare the pitch in the lead-up to the match and that could point to more help for the spinners as well. In general, the batters could struggle with the low bounce and a sluggish outfield.
We think a lower-than-expected scoring match is likely.
Notable stats
Stunning Iyer
Shreyas Iyer has been the one batter that has looked to be the most at ease in this series. He has four fifties and one century in his previous eight ODI innings. He is certainly making a case for himself to be first-choice Indian ODI player.
Team News
Both teams have been making a few changes and the same spirit of experiemntation/rotation could continue in the third match as well.

Dream11 Prediction
We think India has the advantage going into this match. Its batters are in form and the spinners have been more effective than their South African counterparts. Also, the conditions could really prove to be difficult for the tourists in this match.
Top Picks
Kuldeep Yadav - Kuldeep Yadav has played a lot of cricket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium during his career. He will know what to expect from the surface. He is also someone that becomes much more dangerous when the ball starts to spin.
David Miller - No one else in the South African camp has the kind of IPL experience that Miller does. He will come in to bat at a difficult time but he is in good form and could make good use of the short boundaries.
Mohammad Siraj - Siraj was brilliant in the previous match. The pitch in Delhi rewards bowlers that are fast and accurate, something that Siraj can be at his best.
