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)
South Africa: Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Dwaine Pretorius, Wayne Parnell, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi
The slower gets the job done! Hendricks wants to cash in on the last ball, he swings down the ground but the ball has no pace on it. Chahal settles underneath and pouches it
India reach 179/5 in 20 overs. Good recovery from South Africa after Kishan and Gaikwad started strongly. Good effort from Hardik to take India closer to 180.
Fifty for Ishan Kishan! The ball is shorter in length, and around off stump. The ball turns in just a bit, as Kishan tries to poke but gets an outside edge wide enough to the right of short third man
The toss is just moments away! Could play a huge factor in the outcome of this game. India won the toss in Delhi but lost the game. SA had won the toss in Cuttack but they made the most of it.
