The ACA-VDCA International Stadium in Visakhapatnam will play host to the IND-SA ODI series decider on December 6.
It is all to play for in the final game of the series with the scoreline evenly poised at 1-1.
The 3rd and final match of the ODI series is very much alive after the Proteas drew level
with a 4-wicket victory in the 2nd match at New Raipur.
Chasing a mammoth 359-run target, Aiden Markram's blazing ton spearheaded a superlative batting effort to power South Africa's joint highest ODI chase against India to level the series at Raipur.India had edged the visitors in a thrilling series opener at Ranchi on the back of RoKo's stellar show.
Both the previous matches were high-scoring thrillers and one could expect another run fest at the batting friendly ACA-VDCA deck at Vizag.
Why Vizag Favors India
Vizag has been a happy hunting ground for the 'Men In Blue' as India boasts of an impressive record at the coastal venue, winning 7 out of the 10 ODIs. India is likely to tinker with their playing combination at Vizag. Seamer Prasidh Krishna and allrounder Washington Sundar are likely to be replaced.
Krishna proved to be very expensive in the Raipur ODI, conceding 80+ runs while Sundar has not made an impact in the series.Rishabh Pant or Tilak Verma could be picked up to further bolster the middle order. Nitish Reddy might replace Sundar. SA might stick to their winning combination.
KL Rahul led 'Men In Blue'; would hope to clinch the ODI series after being whitewashed in the Test series. Meanwhile, Bavuma and Co. would look to spoil India's party. A cracker of a contest could well be in store for cricketing fans at Vizag this coming Saturday.
