India vs South Africa - 3rd ODI at Newlands, Cape Town

After South Africa played some really silly cricket this passed Sunday up in Johannesburg, especially with bat in hand, the teams coach, Corrie van Zyl, said that the Proteas will be back to winning ways tomorrow night at one of South Africa's well known cricketing venues at the foot of Table Mountain, Newlands Cricket ground.

There should not be any changes to the team that lost to India by only one run on Sunday. Maybe the inclusion of somebody like Tahir with his legspin could be a surprise to most people, but at Newlands it will not be the worst inclusion, because we all know there are always something in the Newlands pitch for spin bowlers, especially leg spinners.

Winning the toss plays a more than important role at this ground and batting first in a day/night fixture, especially as big as this one is panning out to be, it will be very surprising if the captain winning the toss decides to field first. Batting first will be both teams first choice, regardless of pitch conditions, weather and outfield conditions.

Send us your predictions for tomorrow nights fixture? If you are going to be at the grounds, send us some feedback regarding the atmosphere at the ground - what it was like and maybe mail some pictures to sportsman.sa@gmail.com?
