Here are the Highlights of 3rd T20I match between India and South Africa, straight from Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore:
Axar Patel departs for 9 runs off 8 balls and India are seven down now. Parnell bowled outside off stump on the tram line to Axar and the batter got an edge on the ball before de Kock collected it behind the stumps.
This is big blow to India. Keshav Maharaj has got the wicket of Dinesh Karthik. The Indian wicketkeeper went for a switch hit but he missed the ball and saw his stumps getting disturbed. Karthik falls for a 21-ball 46.
Wayne Parnell has dismissed Shreyas Iyer. He caught him plumb in front of the stumps. Umpire was convinced but Iyer still went for a review and saw India losing one.
A four from the bat of Rilee Rossouw and he is now on 97 off 44 balls. A century seems inevitable for the way he is hitting the balls, that is right from the middle of the bat.
This pitch is a batting paradise and the bowlers have literally nothing for them here. Deepak Chahar pitched it short but the ball sat right in front of Rossouw, who comfortably hit it over mid-wicket for a six.
Tristan Stubbs has smashed Umesh Yadav for a six over square leg. Stubbs charged down the track and pulled the short ball with perfection.. It was a six as soon as the ball left the bat, such beautiful the hit was!
This is some superb stuff from South Africa. Rilee Rossouw hits Harshal Patel over backward point for a six and the scoring rate of South Africa is 10.36 runs per over now.
13 runs came off the second over of Mohammad Siraj. Rossouw hit a six while de Kock hit a four in the over. Despite the wicket of Bavuma, South Africa are going really good at the moment.
Two similar balls, fuller and on the pads, from Umesh Yadav and Rilee Rossouw gave both of them the same treatment. He hit both the balls to the backward square leg fence for a four.
That's the end of Temba Bavuma's struggle. He has hit the ball into the hands of Rohit Sharma at mid-wicket. Umesh Yadav provides India the early breakthrough, but this might be a blessing in disguise for South Africa as Bavuma was finding it really hard to time the ball.
Quinton de Kock edged the ball of Ravichandran Ashwin but the ball escaped to the boundary ropes after falling in gap and running to the non-existent third man.
