IND VS SA 3rd ODI, Dream11 Team Prediction for India vs South Africa ODI Series 2025 Preview: India and South Africa have produced two thrillers in this ODI series until now. And the third game will decide which way this series is heading, as both sides have been victorious in one game each. South Africa are coming off a record-breaking chase over India in the previous encounter in Raipur. They dismantled India’s bowling plan and made a mockery of a big target of 357.
Hence, the Proteas have the momentum with them, and they will be eyeing the consecutive series win over India on this tour. This win can help them to do that. The Final ODI will be played at the Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 1:30 PM IST. With the series at 1–1, this decider will determine the champion of the 2025 ODI series.
India are struggling with the ball. The pacers are not taking wickets and giving away runs at a higher pace. Spinners are not getting much help from the wicket. Even the toss is not helping the hosts, as they have now lost 20 consecutive tosses in ODIs. On the other hand, South Africa have also leaked runs but have shown better batting plans in two games.
Virat Kohli’s 53rd ODI century also came in this match, taking his international ton tally to 83. However, South Africa’s fearless batting ensured India could not defend 350+ at home.
Both teams enter the final ODI with high confidence. India will rely on their experienced top order again, while South Africa’s young batting group looks in red-hot form. The Vizag pitch usually offers bounce early and becomes excellent for batting. Dew may again make chasing easier.

IND VS SA Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Just like the first two games, we might see another high-scoring thriller on Saturday. The pitch is all about batting and chasing. Hence, the toss will have a huge role because of the dew in the second innings. India have not won a toss in ODIs for more than two years now. So, that is something they will be hoping that they can win. South Africa have more experience in their pace bowling unit.
Or one can say, their pacers are more consistent when it comes to containing the batters in the final overs. Indian spinners are also struggling, which is a big setback. Then, South Africa’s long batting depth let them go after the bowling from the start. That is why South Africa are better suited to win the final ODI on Saturday than India.
