Preview
To conclude a thrilling all-format series, India and South Africa will lock horns in the final T20I. After losing the first encounter, the Women in Blue looked in great form in the second fixture but the game was washed out. Hence Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. will look to finish strong and end this series with just one loss. For South Africa, Laura Wolvaardt will look to finish this Indian tour with two quality wins with a T20 World Cup in a short time.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the MA Chidambaram often benefit the spinners, but the presence of dew in could allow batters to take the upper hand. With that, the average first innings score of 140.8 in WT20s at this venue will be far from enough for either India or South Africa to defend in the third T20I of the series.
