3rd T20I: Weather update from Johannesburg ahead of South Africa vs India clash

Team India is all set to lock horns against South Africa for the third and final T20I game, slated to take place on December 14 at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Notably, the first game was already washed out due to rain on December 10. On the other hand, South Africa won by 5 wickets against India in the second T20I on December 12.

Following the loss, the Men in Blue have lost the chance of sealing the series, but they are looking to get a win in the upcoming T20I to level up the series. On the other hand, Proteas seem to be very dominant against the visitors, and they are just one win away from clinching the series.

Team India and South Africa last met during the ODI World Cup 2023, where both sides suffered defeats against Australia in the playoffs of the marquee event. However, following the loss, both sides have shifted their focus to the T20 World Cup 2024, which is slated to take place in May and June in the USA and West Indies.
