India, South Africa to arrive in Dharmshala today

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The India–South Africa T20I series will now move to the scenic hills of Dharamshala, where the third match is scheduled for December 14. Both teams are set to arrive today at Gagal Airport via a chartered flight from Chandigarh. Following India’s defeat in the second T20I, this match has gained significant importance, as both sides will be fighting to take the lead in the five-match series, currently tied at 1-1.

Once the teams land, they will head straight to their hotel for rest before beginning preparations for the game. With the series finely balanced, the excitement among fans in Himachal Pradesh is at its peak. The stunning Dharamshala Stadium, surrounded by the Himalayas, is once again ready to showcase top-level cricket.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also announced the practice schedule, with both teams allotted different training slots on December 13. The arrangement ensures smooth preparations while avoiding crowding at the nets.

According to BCCI’s plan, South Africa will practice first, with their net session scheduled from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM. After that, Team India will take over the ground and nets from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM.

This staggered schedule will allow both teams to prepare comfortably for the high-pressure match. With India eager to bounce back after their loss in Chandigarh and South Africa looking to maintain their momentum, the training sessions are expected to be intense.
