South Africa vs India 3rd Test: Will rain wash out Day 1? Here's Johannesburg weather forecast

SA vs IND 3rd Test Cape Town Weather Update: According to the South African Weather Service, Day 1 of the third Test will be played under overcast conditions and there could be some rainfall during the first session.

India have another shot at conquering what is being labelled as the final frontier as they take on South Africa in the 3rd and final Test at Newlands in Cape Town from January 11. The World No.1 Test side had headed into the series as favourites and they lived up to the reputation by becoming the first team from Asia to win a Test match in Centurion. However, South Africa bounced back in Johannesburg, coming up with a resolute effort to deny India an unbeatable series lead.

With the series level at 1-1, India have another opportunity to script history and win their first-ever Test series in South Africa. It's not going to be easy as history doesn't favour the Asian giants who have never managed to win at Newlands. In 5 matches in the past, India have lost 3 and managed draws on 2 occasions. In 2018, India were let down by their batters as they failed to chase 208, losing the Test by 72 runs.
