New Delhi [India], Feb 7: South Africa's young pace bowler Kagiso Rabada has insisted that the home team, in spite of losing the first two ODIs of the six-match contest, is not out of the series yet. The third ODI between South Africa and India will be played at Newlands, Cape Town on Wednesday.

South Africa have struggled big time against India's wrist spinners and injuries to their top ODI players have also hurt them badly with Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock getting ruled out of the remaining limited-overs matches against India. AB de Villiers is also out injured but may return to the playing XI in the fourth match. India dominate in the first two ODI match played. In which Proteas batsmen look very uncomfortable against duo of Chahal and Kuldeep. While Indian batsmen marched toward the victory in previous two games during chasing.

Now onto Cape Town, the devil's peak looks down ominously. A defeat here and even AB de Villiers's imminent return at Wanderers cannot help win the series. From when the teams were here at start of India's tour, the tide has turned quite a bit. So much so that now South Africa batting coach Dale Benkenstein is extoling the virtues of 'intent': Kuldeep and Chahal may have gotten 13 of the 18 wickets to fall, but nothing good can come off being passive against them.
