The Weather Forecast for today predicts clear skies and no chance of rain. For the second ODI match, the pitch with red soil was used with some grass cover on it. So the pacers of both the teams were able to make the most of the pitch with the extra bounce which was offered in the second game. The dew played a role in the inaugural match of the series but did not appear in the second ODI.
Here is the playing XI of both the teams for the third ODI:-
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna.
