358/5 (50.0/50)
362/6 (49.2/50)
South Africa beat India by 4 wickets
Right then, after a couple of high-scoring encounters and the series level at 1-1, we move into the summit clash. The 3rd and final ODI will be played in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, 6 December. It is another ground that generally sees bigger scores and it should be a fascinating contest. That game will begin at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT) but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Cheers!
Aiden Markram is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fine century. Aiden starts by saying that it was a bit of a challenge early on but he needed to get in the game and everyone knew that the middle order had a lot of prowess and it showed. Adds that once he and Temba Bavuma felt they were set, they decided to play their shots and that was also the case with Matthew Breetzke and says that he is proud of the boys who took them over the line. Reckons that they have 8 really good batters and Keshav Maharaj can also do a job with the bat, and is happy that the middle order continues to put their hand up but it is now time for the top order to fire a bit more.
The captain of South Africa, Temba Bavuma says he is happy to have crossed the line and that the team came into this game thinking about how they could improve. He feels the top three set a much better platform this time, with Aiden Markram and Matthew Breetzke carrying the innings well and Corbin Bosch showing great maturity. Overall, he believes it was a much better showing from the batting group. He calls it an unbelievable game and says it shows just how well they need to play to come out on top against this Indian side. Shares that the plan between him and Markram was to take the game deep, and the move to send Dewald Brevis in early worked in their favour. He adds that there is a lot of confidence the team can take going forward. Bavuma tells that the players here are undoubtedly the best available, and the competition within the squad is at a very high level. Further says that with Quinton de Kock also coming back into the mix, the batters know they are scrambling for places, and both batters and bowlers understand they have to be at their best to hold onto their spots. States that Tony de Zorzi and Nandre Burger do not look too good with their hamstring issues, and if needed, the team has other players ready to step in and do the job on Saturday.
The Indian skipper, KL Rahul, says that considering everything - the dew and how difficult it is to bowl second here, it wasn't a tough pill to swallow and the umpires were also kind enough to change the ball regularly. Jokes about losing the toss again but then goes on to say that they need to always think about what they could have done better. Reckons that even though they got 350, they could have got 20 more runs and the bowlers bowled well but the fielding needs to tighten up as well. Goes on to applaud the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Virat Kohli and says that both of them batted wonderfully and also adds that the tempo from Ruturaj was excellent. Rahul also says that he was slotted in at number 6 but given the situation, the coach and he himself felt it was the right time to walk in at number 5.
The Presentation ceremony...
South Africa's hero at the death, Corbin Bosch, is in for a chat. He says that he told Keshav Maharaj to stay calm and run hard, and that there was always a belief in the team that they could chase anything. Shares that the top order set it up beautifully, making it much easier for the rest of the guys to finish it off. Adds that the wicket felt quite sticky when the outfield was dry, but once the ball got wet, it became a lot easier to score in the dewy conditions.
Earlier in the game, Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to bowl first on a surface that looked abrasive to begin with. However, India got off to a flier in the first Powerplay. South Africa did get a couple of wickets inside the first 11 overs but then came the monumental stand between Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad worth 195 runs. Both batters ended up getting a century but got out soon after and KL Rahul had to dig deep. Lungi Ngidi bowled really well in the middle phase and at the death but a half century from Rahul and a costly final over from Corbin Bosch took India past 350.
The likes of Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh continued to fight with the ball for India but Corbin Bosch played a handy cameo and, with the help of an experienced Keshav Maharaj at the other end, took his side over the line, remaining unbeaten on 29 off just 15 balls. What a blessing it is to have someone like Corbin Bosch coming to bat at number 8.
Breetzke continued to keep a cool head but it was a quickfire half-century from Dewald Brevis at the other end that took South Africa into a position of power. Breetzke too notched up a 7th score of 50 or more in just 11 ODI innings. However, things changed quickly as the Proteas lost 3 wickets in the space of 4 overs and then Tony de Zorzi got retired hurt as well. At that time, it looked like one more wicket could get India well on top of proceedings.
Prasidh Krishna snaffled Bavuma just 4 runs short of his fifty but Matthew Breetzke came in and played an anchoring knock as Markram kept on peppering the bowlers. Markram notched up a ton but got out and India seemed to be pushing the required rate up for some time thanks to Rana's little spell in the middle phase.
Chasing a massive total of 359, South Africa began watchfully and lost Quinton de Kock in the process as well. Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana both were bowling well but Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma fought back with a century stand as the Indian spinners couldn't quite get into the game.
An absolute humdinger of a contest but in the end, it is South Africa who win the game and level the series at 1-1. India fought well against the dew but couldn't find enough consistency with the ball to take them over the line. Just the 3rd time South Africa have chased a target in excess of 350 runs and it is just the second time India have failed to defend a target of 350 or more.

Prasidh Krishna To Corbin Bosch
FOUR! Corbin Bosch comes up with the winning runs! He could not take the team over the line in Ranchi, but he has done so here in Raipur. This is full, angled in at the stumps. Corbin presents the full face of the bat and times the drive to the left of mid on for a boundary. Bosch punches the air in delight. South Africa ace a big chase to draw level in the series!

FOUR! Just what South Africa would have wanted. Arshdeep goes for the wide yorker but ends up bowling a low full toss. Corbin Bosch does well to reach the ball and manages to power it away well wide of deep covers for a boundary. 27 needed now off 30 balls.
Tony de Zorzi is down in serious pain. It looks like he has pulled up with a hamstring issue in his right leg. Keshav Maharaj is waiting on the sidelines as de Zorzi continues to receive attention from the physio. And in case you missed it, Nandre Burger also pulled up with a hamstring problem earlier during South Africa’s bowling effort. Tony is back on his feet now and has taken a pain-relieving pill. The southpaw is going to carry on.

Arshdeep Singh To Corbin Bosch
Oh, no, no, no! Tony de Zorzi seems to be in agonizing pain as he turns for the second run and barely manages to complete it. Full and around off, Corbin Bosch drives it towards deep cover and picks up a couple of runs but it seems like de Zorzi has done his hamstring and this could be a huge blow to the Proteas and another twist in the tale here.

Arshdeep Singh To Corbin Bosch
FOUR! Oh, a bit unlucky for the fielder but a good shot from Corbin Bosch. Short ball over leg stump, Bosch rolls his wrists on the pull shot to keep it down and firms it to the right of deep square leg. Ravindra Jadeja races across and gets to the ball but doesn't collect it cleanly and it goes for a boundary.
Corbin Bosch is the new man in.

Arshdeep Singh To Marco Jansen OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, deary me! Is there a comeback on the cards? Arshdeep Singh look to go full and pitches the ball up on off stump. Marco Jansen hangs deep in the crease and looks to loft it down the ground but gets no power behind it. The ball travels straight down the throat of long off and Ruturaj Gaikwad makes no mistake. Two quick wickets for India and South Africa now need 37 off 33.

Arshdeep Singh To Tony de Zorzi
In the air but falls short! This is banged in short by Arshdeep. Tony de Zorzi sets up to pull but the ball holds in the deck and de Zorzi ends up getting a top edge around mid-wicket.

Prasidh Krishna To Matthew Breetzke OUT!
OUT! LBW! A big and prolonged appeal for LBW and eventually, the umpire's finger is raised. Prasidh Krishna goes for the straight yorker once again and gets it spot-on this time. Matthew Breetzke looks to flick it away but plays all over it and the ball beats the inside edge to hit the pads. Breetzke does review it and the third umpire is called in. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Breetzke departs for a well-made 68 (64) and South Africa need 42 off 37 balls with 5 wickets in hand. This game isn't over yet.

Kuldeep Yadav To Matthew Breetzke
Slightly short on middle and leg, Breetzke stays low to pull but mistimes it in front of mid-wicket for one and instantly lets out a frustrated 'NO.'
We are going to have a ball change. The South African pair do not look particularly pleased, but Rod Tucker is convinced that the ball is wet enough to warrant a replacement. The replacement has been picked and we are all good to go.

Kuldeep Yadav To Tony de Zorzi
Good shot and equally well-fielded. Shorter and outside off, turning away, Tony de Zorzi backs away and slaps it well wide of long off. Yashasvi Jaiswal sprints across the turf and puts in the dive to save the boundary but the batters do well to pick up three runs.

Harshit Rana To Dewald Brevis

FIFTY for Matthew Breetzke! His 7th score of fifty or more in 11 innings as his consistent run in ODIs continues. Breetzke could not take the team over the line in Ranchi, but he will want to make amends here. Short and around leg, Matthew tucks it square on the leg side for a single.

Kuldeep Yadav is back into the attack.

NO BALL! Oh, that went all wrong for Krishna. Prasidh goes searching for the yorker but the ball seems to have slipped out of his hand. It is above the hips and Dewald Brevis is taken aback. Brevis just about manages to fend it down off his gloves in the vacant mid-wicket region for a couple of runs. Free Hit coming up. Another ball change, and the fourth umpire is once again out with a box of used balls. The two on-field umpires select one that fits the best.
The dew is really starting to make an impact on the ball and the game.

Another hold-up in the play. It seems like there's a lot of grass under Harshit Rana's shoes and Tilak Varma is out with a cleaning tool. Given the amount of dew, the last thing you want as a fast bowler is to slip while bowling. All's good and we are good to continue again.

Another slight halt in play. This time, for a mandatory concussion check, as Dewald Brevis is struck on the helmet. He does seem fine and the physio asks him a couple of questions before giving him the clearance. Also, one of the two balls is changed but it is the ball that is being used from the other end, not the end from where Harshit Rana is currently bowling.

Just in! Googly from Kuldeep, full and spinning away from the right-hander. Matthew Breetzke lunges for the block but the ball drops on him to go past the outside edge. KL Rahul is quick to whip the bails off and is pretty convinced. The third umpire is called into action. The replays show that Breetzke's back leg did get dragged outside the crease but he managed to slide it back in before the stumps were broken.
Is that out? There is a big appeal for stumping and India feel they have their man. The third umpire is called in to have a look. Matthew Breetzke is the batter in question and after a couple of replays, the third umpire confirms that Breetzke just had his back leg inside the crease when the bails came off. NOT OUT!

Kuldeep Yadav To Matthew Breetzke
Pushed across the right-hander, short and on off, Matthew Breetzke taps it to cover.
DRINKS BREAK! With the dismissal of Aiden Markram, the umpires have called for drinks. KL Rahul is seen having a word with the officials about the condition of the ball. India will be relieved to see the back of Markram, as South Africa had done a fine job keeping the required run rate in check and preventing the Indian bowlers from taking control. The game is nicely poised, and the next phase will be crucial for both teams. The hosts will want to bowl as much as possible to the new batter and try to push the required rate up. With Markram’s departure, the responsibility now falls on Matthew Breetzke to maintain the momentum until the incoming batter finds his rhythm. Dewald Brevis joins Breetzke out in the middle.

Markram has to fetch it, not only from outside off but from well above his head and he hits it like a forehand smash. The ball goes flat and down towards long on, where Ruturaj Gaikwad goes low to his right and hangs on with both hands. Markram departs for a fine knock of 110 (98) and Rana is absolutely elated.

Bavuma looks to swivel and pull but gets more a top edge that sails down to deep square leg. Harshit Rana settles under it and takes a safe reverse-cup catch as Bavuma departs for 46 (48) and the brewing stand is finally broken.

Top work by Tilak Varma! Floated up, on middle and leg, Markram clears the front leg and clubs it wide of long on. Varma on as a substitute, moves to his right and leaps. Times the jump to perfection and takes the catch. Realises that the momentum will take him over the ropes and releases the ball quickly whilst being airborne. The replays show that Tilak got rid of the ball just in time before his feet came in contact with the boundary cushions. Saves five runs for his side. Just a single taken.
Is that a six? The substitute fielder Tilak Varma might have just pulled off an unreal save but the third umpire is having a look at it. From the first replay, it looks like he managed to flick the ball into play just before his foot touched the rope and the replay from the other side confirms the same. Just a single!

Markram rocks on the back foot and looks to clear long on with a flat bat. Gets it right off the toe end of the bat and it goes only as far as long on, where Jaiswal fails to read the trajectory of the ball. Moreover, he is not entirely sure of where the rope is. He could have gone back a couple of steps and settled himself behind the ball. He stays side on and looks to take the catch with a leap to his right. Fails to cling on as the ball deflects off the fingertips and goes over the fence.

DRINKS! A steady start to the run chase and the game seems to be nicely poised but India seem to have just a bit of an edge right now. The ball swung under the lights and both Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana created a few difficulties for the openers. South Africa will be happy to be just one down and would hope that Aiden Markram can now convert this half-century into a big score. They have a lot of hitting to come but Markram and Temba Bavuma need to up the ante and lay down a platform for the others. Should be an interesting middle phase, so let's get right to it.

OUT! CAUGHT! A bit of a nothing shot from Quinton de Kock and Arshdeep Singh gets the first breakthrough for India. This is pitched up on the stumps, QDK sets up to pick it up over the leg side but the ball just swings away a bit. The lofted shot is miscued and it goes high up to the right of mid on. Washington Sundar keeps his eyes fixed on the ball and takes a good catch. De Kock departs for 8 (11) and South Africa are 26/1.

Arshdeep Singh To Aiden Markram
Oh, a ripper of a delivery, and there's a huge appeal, probably for LBW as well, but it is turned down. KL Rahul does go for the review. Coming to the delivery, Arshdeep Singh pitches the ball a bit further up on off stump and gets it to swing back in sharply. Aiden Markram hangs back to defend but is cut in half, and the ball just clips the flap of the back pad and goes through to the keeper. The third umpire is called in, and UltraEdge shows no bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have just gone over the stumps. NOT OUT!
