SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips. South Africa and India will play in the 3rd Test match of the India tour of South Africa 2021-22 at the Newlands Stadium, Capetown.
South Africa:
After losing the first test, South Africa has bounced back strongly and won the second test by 7 wickets. Both the batters and bowlers stepped up and performed brilliantly.
Kagiso Rabada and Olivier started well with the ball and picked up 3 wickets each in the 1st innings. Marco Jansen has been the find for the Proteas and picked up 4 and 3 wickets respectively in the last game.
With the bat, K Petersen and D Elger were the top picks. Elger’s knock of 96 not out in the second innings was the highlight of the game. Handy contribution with the middle order and lower middle order was also excellent.
After a win in the last game, they will be high on confidence and will look to play their best to save and seal the series.
India:
The KL Rahul-led team had to face disappointment in the last game and will look to perform better in the last game. Virat Kohli has confirmed that he will be back on the side and Mohammad Siraj will miss the game due to his injury.
KL Rahul is the highest run-scorer in the series with 204 runs in his 4 innings and is the must-have pick in your Dream11 Team. Mayank Agarwal was brilliant in the first game and will be desperate to score in this game.
Shardul Thakur was fantastic with the bat and ball in the last game. His 7 wicket haul in the 1st innings was a highlight of the match and also chipped in handy runs with the bat lower down the order.
The fifties from both Pujara and Rahane were the positives from the Indian Camp and will be high on confidence going into this game. With the ball, Shami and Bumrah will be the key in Capetown along with Ishant Sharma or Umesh Yadav who will play.
With Virat Kohli back in the side and Pujara and Rahane back to form, India is the clear favorite to win the game.

Virat Kohli:
(1 M, 53R, 26 A)
He is one of the best batsmen from the team but is not at his best. Kohli did not play the last game. Virat Kohli is also a very good Captain choice in SA vs IND dream11 team.

Ravi Ashwin:
(2 M, 80 R, 20 A + 43.4 O, 3 W)
He is a world-class all-rounder but will not bowl much as the pitch will not be spin-friendly but can expect runs with the bat.
Mayank Agarwal:
(2 M, 113 R, 28 A)
He was brilliant in the first game but did not look great in the last game. Agarwal scored 59 runs in the last game (both innings combined).
