IND vs SA 3rd T20I Match Prediction: In 2025, India will face South Africa in the third T20I match of South Africa's tour of India.

The Indian team had a good start to the T20 series, but they couldn't maintain their momentum and lost the second match. They suffered a 51-run defeat in the previous game. Batting first, South Africa posted a massive score of 213 runs, in reply to which India were all out for 162. However, Tilak Varma played well, scoring 62 runs off 34 balls.

The previous match was a great one for South Africa, with Quinton de Kock playing a magnificent innings of 90 runs off just 46 balls. However, the credit for South Africa's victory goes to their bowling attack, with Ottniel Baartman taking four wickets, while Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen, and Lutho Sipamla each claimed two wickets. The South African team will be hoping to replicate this performance in the next match.

IND vs SA 3rd T20 Pitch Report

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala is a high-altitude ground where the ball gets good bounce and carry. This benefits fast bowlers during the powerplay. Recent IPL matches here have been high-scoring thrillers, with teams regularly posting scores above 180, and four out of the five matches since the last T20I in 2022 have been won by the team batting first. A flat pitch is expected, which will favor aggressive strokeplay in the middle overs, although evening dew could make chasing easier. Spinners might get some grip initially but could struggle later on, making conditions conducive to scores in the 170-190 range.
