ODI 3 - A Tough One

South Africa Vs India
3rd ODI – 11 December, 2013 - Centurion

South Africa
There is an obvious star quality about the South African team this series, but even they will show some kinks in their armour. Batting may not have the most ideal start and even a dicey end – but it's the mid-innings partnerships that will solidify their platform. Bowling will be at ease and smart. Fielding will need to step up.

The Captain – AB de Villiers
It will be quite a juggling act for De Villiers. In fact he will need to be more practical to see his plans materialise.

India
Confused plans and some odd elements of risk may not be the way to go. The team does look uncomfortable, but their enthusiasm to fight is what will set them apart from their previous games. Batting and bowling will both show some lapses, but nothing that should hurt them badly. Sharp finishes will favour them. Fielding will sharper than usual.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni does seem under-confident which is why he will feel comfortable delaying his attack. This may be a wise thing, especially since he appears more balanced as the game progresses.

Tarot Advantage
A close one and toss dependent, 
but Advantage: India
