Weather update from Centurion ahead of South Africa vs India 3rd T20I on Wednesday

South Africa and India will play each other in the third T20I game in Centurion on Wednesday. The series is finely poised at 1-1 after the home team won the second game on Sunday by three wickets. Team India won the first game of the series on Friday by 61 runs, thanks to a century by Sanju Samson. 

SuperSport Park in Centurion will be the venue for the third game before the final match in Johannesburg. It is a key game for both sides because the team that wins the match will take an unassailable lead in the series. 

One of the key concerns for both sides is the batting coming into the game. India will be concerned about the form shown by Abhishek Sharma and skipper Suryakumar Yadav. Both batters have had a slow start to the series with Abhishek Sharma’s form in particular being questioned. 

Weather update from Centurion ahead of 3rd T20I 

There is a bit of rain on Tuesday, which could cause the outfield to take a hit just like it had in the last two games. However, there are no concerns for fans about the game today, November 13, though. The weather is expected to be clear, and there will be no rain threats in the anvil. 

Players will get to play in pleasant conditions with a high of 27 degrees during the day. The chance of rainfall is 25% and one can expect overcast and windy conditions during the game. This means that the seam bowlers with the ability to swing the ball will have a huge say in the game. 

Meanwhile, former India batter Robin Uthappa spoke about Abhishek Sharma’s inconsistent form to Sports18. The 39-year-old said, “I won’t look for too much consistency with someone like him. I would like to leave him as free as possible, like a Virender Sehwag perhaps in the early 2000s, where people were like ‘Just go and enjoy yourself’. Because if it comes, it’s a match-winning hundred or 80, if he gets a quick start, he is still serving the purpose towards the team. So the role is defined. I wouldn’t worry too much about consistency when it comes to Abhishek.”

The former India star also said, “The boy can play, I mean I think the two of them at the top -- he and Head set the whole IPL alight with their batting. I mean I think they rubbed off on each other nicely as well. So I think the key is to give him the confidence to just go out there and play the way that he wants to play. I agree that that's when he is most dangerous. You know, he's not the type of guy who's going be consistent, but when he does come off, he's going win you a match.”
