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.

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.

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.

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.

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
