3rd ODI: Confident India eye unprecedented lead against wounded South Africa

Following emphatic wins in the first two ODIs, India will look to take an unprecedented 3-0 lead when they take on wounded South Africa, plagued by injuries, in the third ODI of the six-match series at Newlands, Cape Town, on Wednesday. The Virat Kohli-led visitors outclassed the hosts in the first couple of games in Durban and Centurion by six and nine wickets respectively. Previously, India have managed to win two ODIs in a bilateral series in South Africa -- in 1992-93 and in 2010-11, only to lose 2-5 and 2-3, respectively. But given the circumstances in the ongoing series, with South Africa losing their top three players -- skipper Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock -- to various injuries, the men-in-blue have a bright chance to better their record on South African soil.
