11:07 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav is Player of the Series

 

Though he could not flourish tonight, Suryakumar Yadav showed in this series, as well as in the last one against Australia that he is very much ready for the big stage and could be India’s most poignant spike in the wheel that can make them succeed in the upcoming T20 World Cup. 

 

In this series, Surya made 119 runs in three innings at an average of 59.5 and a strike rate of 195.08, which was only second to that of David Miller in the entire series. 

 

11:00 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Rilee Rossouw is Player of the Match

 

There was no doubt in the fact that if South Africa won, Rilee Rossouw was going to be the Player of the Match. He hit 100* off just 48 balls with the help of seven fours and eight sixes. This knock came after having scoured two ducks in the last two games of the series. 

 

10:57 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Major highlights of the game

 

South Africa saved themselves from getting whitewashed as Rilee Rossouw's maiden T20I hundred took them 227 and the bowlers did well to defend it and win by 49 runs. The Indian team in its chase could sustain the wicket although they went all out with the run rate. 

 

Dinesh Karthik top-scored 46 off just 21 balls. Later on Deepak Chahar and other tail-enders with their slog hitting managed to get India to 178 in 18.3 overs. 

 

Earlier in the evening, it was the best knock ever from Rilee Rossouw in which he hit his maiden T20I hundred that took South Africa to 227/3 in 20 overs. 

 

10:40 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: South Africa win by 49 runs

 

That would be it then. A ball outside off stump and Siraj goes for the outrageous drive, gets it in the air and David Miller takes an easy catch. India gets all out in 18.3 overs for 178 and lose the game by a huge margin of 49 runs. The series will however be India’s 2-1. 

 

10:36 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: India did well after losing five wickets

 

Even after being 86-5 with no recognised batter left in the middle, India have managed to get to 175 in 18 overs and are eying to play 20 overs, which if they do manage to, will be a great consolation. 

 

10:29 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Deepak Chahar departs after great cameo

 

Deepak Chahar, who was taken to the cleaners in the last over of his spell while bowling, has done great by scoring quick runs. Although in that attempt, he has departed too by offering a catch to David Miller at sweeper cover. But by the time he was here, he scored greatly and made 31 off just 17 balls. 

 

10:21 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: A day of waist-high no-balls

 

In the South African innings, there were too many waist-high full tosses, but this is the first one in the South African inning as Ngidi bowls this to Umesh Yadav. The best part about these no-balls is apart from one, all of them were deposited for boundaries and so has this one as India crosses the 150-run bar.   

 

10:17 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Everybody awaits the inevitable

 

It is wrotten all over that the game is going to end in some time as the 15th over is under progress. Though India have reached 132/8, to believe that they will play out the 20 overs will be too much. Just as I type, Deepak Chahar has hit a six. 

 

10:15 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: That Deepak Chahar act was going to create some buzz for sure

10:09 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Ashwin departs, Maharaj has another one in the kitty

 

Keshav Maharaj now has two wickets in his kitty as India have lost their eighth wicket. Ravichandran Ashwin decided to go big but was unable to clear long-on where Kagiso Rabada took a well-judged catch 

 

10:07 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Another wicket down, Axar Patel out

9:58 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Harshal Patel falls, India six down

9:55 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: 100 up for India

 

India have reached 100 in the 11th over and are on course with the required run rate, but the problem is with the wickets as they have very few wickets left to attack from the word go. No doubt that Deepak Chahar and Ravi Ashwin can bat and Siraj and Umesh could smoke them on lengths too, but these are too many runs to make for the lower middle order and tail-enders 

 

9:49 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Yes it is

9:42 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Surya departs too, India in a spot of bother

 

Dwaine Pretorius has struck with the first over as he bowls one outside off and slow throw the air and Suryakumar Yadav went for the extended drive, couldn’t get enough on the ball, but just enough to get it to the sweeper cover where Tristan Stubbs took a great catch. India are now in a spot of bother with no recognised batter left and Axar Patel and Harshal Patel in the middle. They are five down and haven’t even touched the 100-run mark. 

 

9:38 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Maharaj has the last laugh

9:34 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Karthik on a roll

 

The Indian team have presented a great challenge to the Proteas so far thanks to a rightly anchored onslaught in the last two overs by Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik. Karthik has continued to keep up with the onslaught even after the powerplay as he has marched to 46 off just 20 balls and has hit Keshav Maharaj for back-to-back sixes 

 

9:30 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Now, Karthik goes bang-bang

9:25 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: And Pant departs

 

After hitting Kagiso Rabada for 6,4,6 in three deliveries, Rishabh Pant lobbed one straight to Aiden Markram at cover-point and would have to go back in the hut for a 14-ball 27 as India are now three down for 45 in the first five overs 

 

9:24 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Pant on fire

9:23 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Shreyas Iyer got out leg before wicket

9:22 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: That’s how India lost Rohit Sharma

RABADA STRIKES EARLY

It's the perfect start by the #Proteas as Kagiso Rabada gets Sharma to chop it onto his stumps

9:19 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: That’s where the game stands

 

South Africa are playing to avoid a whitewash while India are up and about to claim a 3-0 win. Batting first, the Proteas reached 227-3 in 20 overs thanks to a scintillating Rilee Rossouw century which he hit in 48 balls only. India, while chasing have lost two quick wickets and are 25-2 in 04 overs with Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant in the middle 

 

8:50 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: India would need 228 to win the match

8:46 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Raining sixes end the inning

 

After hitting the ball out of the ground, Miller has now hit two back-to-back sixes even as the last ball remains. The last ball was bowled well and it ended only in a single hence the South African inning ends at 227/3 and India would need 228 to win 

 

8:44 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Killer Miller hits it out of the ground

 

Six!! This is one of the biggest sixes that people would have seen being hit in recent history as David Miller has hit the waist-high full-toss out of the ground literally over the roof of the stadium. 

 

8:43 PM

Ind vs SA, 3rd T20I, Live Score: Stubbs' miserable stay comes to an end

 

Tristan Stubbs, who was sent up the order ahead of David Miller in the batting order has departed off just 23 for which he took 18 balls, which is almost crimninal. 

 

So far it has been great over by Deepak Chahar who is bowling the 20h of the inning. He has only conceded 5 of the first three balls
