India produced a strong comeback with the ball to bowl out South Africa for 270 in the decisive third ODI at Visakhapatnam. After finally breaking their astonishing streak of 20 consecutive toss losses, India opted to bowl first — a call that initially paid dividends as Arshdeep Singh sent Ryan Rickelton back for a duck in the opening over.
Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma rebuilt the innings with a solid 113-run partnership for the second wicket. De Kock reached his 33rd ODI fifty and later converted it into his 23rd hundred. Bavuma, however, fell for 48, once again missing out on a half-century as Ravindra Jadeja provided the breakthrough.
Matthew Breetzke and Aiden Markram were dismissed in quick succession by Prasidh Krishna, who then also stopped De Kock on 106. At 229/5, South Africa looked set for a big finish, but Kuldeep Yadav triggered a collapse with four wickets — removing Brevis, Jansen, Bosch and Ngidi. Keshav Maharaj added valuable runs down the order, but Krishna wrapped things up by dismissing Ottneil Baartman, leaving South Africa all out for 270.
India now require 271 runs to seal the match and clinch the series 2-1.
