India vs South Africa 3rd ODI full scorecard
It was yet another batter’s day out in the third India vs South Africa ODI in Vizag as the Proteas, batting first, got off to a brilliant start with the help of a century from Quinton de Kock. However, India fought back hard in the latter half of the innings and restricted the visitors to 270/10 before chasing down the target with ease, thanks to Jaiswal’s maiden ODI century and half-centuries from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, to win the match by 9 wickets and secure the series 2-1.
Earlier, India finally won their first ODI coin toss after 20 matches and invited South Africa to bat first. The decision went in India’s favour as Arshdeep Singh removed Ryan Rickelton (0) in the very first over. Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma then stabilised South Africa with a half-century stand for the second wicket. De Kock finally converted his start in the third ODI and completed his 33rd ODI half-century. Temba Bavuma (48), for the second straight match, failed to score a fifty as he lost his wicket just two short to Ravindra Jadeja, ending the 113-run second-wicket stand.
De Kock then put up another half-century stand for the third wicket with Matthew Breetzke (24), who was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna, who three balls later also removed last-match centurion Aiden Markram (1) to put India back in the match. However, Quinton de Kock continued to attack from one end and scored his 23rd ODI ton but was only able to add six more runs before losing his wicket on 106 to Prasidh Krishna.
Dewald Brevis (29) stayed for some time before finally losing his wicket to Kuldeep Yadav, who two balls later removed Marco Jansen (17) to lead India’s fightback with the ball. Kuldeep then struck again to remove Corbin Bosch (9) and Lungi Ngidi (1) to push the visitors to the verge of being all out.
Keshav Maharaj (20 not out) added some crucial runs in the end, but Prasidh Krishna finally got the wicket of Ottneil Baartman (3) to bundle the Proteas out for 270.
In reply, India got off to a brilliant start, adding a century opening stand for the first time in 28 innings, which also included Rohit Sharma’s 61st ODI half-century. Jaiswal followed suit and finally brought up his maiden ODI half-century to take the opening stand for India past 150. The partnership finally came to an end on 155 when Keshav Maharaj got the big wicket of Rohit Sharma (75).
However, Jaiswal continued to attack and brought up his maiden ODI ton to become the sixth Indian batter with triple-digit scores in all three formats. Meanwhile, at the other end, Kohli continued his purple patch and scored his 76th ODI half-century and his fourth consecutive fifty-plus score in 50-over cricket.
In the end, Yashasvi Jaiswal (116 not out) and Virat Kohli (65 not out) added an unbeaten 116 runs to take India past the required 271-run target with 61 balls and 9 wickets to spare to win the match and the series.
