134/9 (20.0/20)
140/1 (16.5/20)
South Africa beat India by 9 wickets
Right then. A washout in the first game. An Indian domination in the second. It was all about the visitors in the third as they manage to pull off an excellent will to level the three match T20I series. The two sides now will face off in the longer format of the game. The first one of the three Tests begins on October 2, 2019 at 0930 Local (0400 GMT). Join us for that game. Till then, take care!
Quinton starts by saying that they kept things simple. He adds that there was something on offer for both quick bowlers and the spinners and they used the conditions well. On the bowlers who took the pace off the ball, de Kock says that Hendricks read the conditions well and used the slower one well. De Kock says that their fielding was really good too and they were very focused.
Time for the Indian skipper now. On his decision of batting first, Kohli starts by saying that going into the T20 World Cup, they will continue to make decisions like that. Adds that the team is willing to do the hard work and that is good things. Praises the South African bowlers and adds that they lost the control of the game and never get it back. Kohli says that chasing has been become easier but only in T20 cricket as just a small partnership can help you win the game. He says that defending even 200 will be tougher if there is just a couple of good stands. On team selections, Kohli says that whosoever is playing the matches for the side have done well excellent work in the domestic arena. Adds that they would continue backing the youngsters and wants to give enough time to the young side.
Man of the Match goes to Beuran Hendricks for his excellent bowling performance. Hendricks says that things worked really well for him. Mentions that he has been working hard behind the scenes. Adds that he doesn't look at the pitch much but he did get some assistance from the surface. He finishes by saying that one needs to be consistent with his lines and lengths to become a successful T20 bowler.
Temba Bavuma says he made his debut in T20Is when he did not expect it but he has worked hard and it has started off well. States you need to have the mindset to score quickly. Further adds he does not have the power like Gayle but his job is to keep the scoreboard ticking. On the six he hit in Mohali, he replies that he surprised himself and realized he can hit the ball a long way. Ends by saying they will get a lot of confidence after this win and it is important as there is a Test series coming up which is not going to be easy.
The Indian bowlers can't be blamed a lot as they did not have a lot to defend. They still could have been a lot better with their lines and lengths. In the end, you have to say, the Indians were outplayed in every department tonight. Stay tuned for the presentation in a while. Before that, Bavuma is giving an interview.
In the run chase, the South African openers, Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks did an excellent job by adding 76 runs. They were helped by the Indian bowlers who were extremely poor. Every bowler, even the spinners were extremely short which made it easy for the batters to score the runs. Reeza Hendricks did fall after getting a start but de Kock continued and Bavuma also fulfilled his role. The two added another important stand and took their side over the line. De Kock looked absolutely fluent throughout the innings and apart from that missed review chance by the Indians, he did not offer any opening.
A comprehensive win for the South Africans. An excellent performance in a must-win game from them. Also, this is de Kock's first win as T20I skipper and he has played an integral part in it. However, a lot of credit has to be given to their bowlers as they set up the game for them. Brilliant efforts from Hendricks, who was brought into the team for this game, the two spinners and Rabada ensured they keep India to a total which was under par.

Hardik Pandya To Quinton de Kock
FOUR! Fifty for de Kock, h gets there in style. Consecutive fifties for him and it is his 4th in T20Is. He is really relishing the role of becoming a skipper with the bat. He though would want to continue and probably hit the winning runs which levels the series. He goes inside out to get to the milestone. It is full and outside off. De Kock lofts it over covers and it races away to the fence.

Hardik Pandya To Temba Bavuma
On the fuller side around off, Bavuma looks to drive but it goes off the outside edge. The batters feel it is a boundary and hence do not run. The third man fielder makes a brilliant stop as he covers a lot of ground to his left, dives and stops it. A single is taken in the end.
Temba Bavuma is the next man in for the visitors. A calm innings is the need of the hour for South Africa.

Hardik Pandya To Reeza Hendricks OUT!
OUT! That is a stunning catch from Kohli. We saw him take one brilliant catch in the second T20I to dismiss de Kock, this time it is one to dismiss his opening partner. A wicket at last for the Indians but maybe it is a little too late. The bowling change has worked wonders for the Indian side. Pandya makes an impact straightaway. This is short and on middle, it sticks in the surface. Hendricks is early in the shot. He ends up mistiming the shot. It lobs towards mid on where the fielder runs to his right, dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. Finally the crowd has something to cheer about. Also, let me remind you, it was Kohli's brilliant catch in the last game which shifted momentum, are we in for something similar here?
Hardik into the attack now! India needs wickets in clusters from him. Can he do that?

A huge shout but not given! Sundar is slightly disappointed as he walks back to his bowling stride. He felt that was out but no reviews left. This is flatter and around middle. De Kock looks to sweep but misses. He gets hit on the pads. An appeal but it is turned down. Looked pretty close. Yes, the replays roll in and shows three reds. It was going to hit the leg stump.

That looks to be going down the leg side but hello, the skipper however has words with his bowler and then opts for the DRS. Here comes the Ball Tracker and confirms it is going way down the leg side. Kohli has his cap on his face. The ball goes towards square leg and a leg bye has been taken.
Review time! An appeal for an LBW has been turned down. India review. Looks to be sliding down leg.

A leg bye! Flatter and on middle, it turns back in. Reeza looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. It rolls on the off side and the batters go for one. The fielder picks the ball and throws it powerfully towards the non-striker's end. The ball lands before the stumps but bounces over it. The fielder backing up does well to not charge in, stay calm and stop it. Could've been four overthrows.

Another beauty from Chahar but it can't get the edge. Length ball, closer to the off pole this time. Hendricks again pokes at but he is beaten by the away movement. Excellent bowling from Chahar.

Deepak Chahar To Quinton de Kock
Good length ball, closer to the off pole, QdK looks to work it towards third man but gets an outside edge towards skipper Kohli. Who takes it on the bounce and fires a direct hit. The ball hits the timber but QdK was in. The ball goes towards the off side, de Kock thinks of a run again but Kohli is quick at the ball again.
Deepak Chahar to bowl from the other end.

Washington Sundar To Quinton de Kock
FOUR! Driven nicely and the ball races to the fence. Quick outfield. A fuller floated ball, de Kock leans into the shot and drives it through the covers into the fence. Off the mark in style is the Protea skipper.
