IND vs SA, 3rd T20I, Highlights: India on Tuesday thrashed South Africa by 48 runs in the third T20I of the five-match series in Vishakhapatnam. Chasing a target of 180, South Africa kept on losing wickets at regular intervals, and were eventually bowled out for a paltry total of 131. Harshal Patel stole the show with career-best figures of four for 25, while Yuzvendra Chahal also took three wickets. Earlier, Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad hit fifties as India managed to post a total of 179 for five against South Africa. Gaikwad (57) and Kishan (54) added 97 runs for the opening wicket before South Africa pegged India back with quick blows. In the end, Hardik Pandya gave some much-needed impetus to the Indian innings, scoring 31 off 21 balls. Earlier, South Africa had won the toss and skipper Temba Bavuma had elected to bowl. The Proteas now lead the series 2-1 ahead of the four T20I in Rajkot on Friday. (SCORECARD)
