Final Summary

Team India bowlers held their nerves to restrict South Africa to 208/7 and win the 3rd T20I match by 11 runs. The victory sees India taking 2-1 lead in the four-match series. Chasing 220 runs for victory, the Proteas lost early wickets but Henrich Klaasen looked to be taking the match away with quickfire 41 runs.

However, Marco Jansen took the attack to Indian bowlers and scored the second fastest half-century ever by South African in T20I cricket. The lanky all-rounder pounded Hardik Pandya for 26 runs in the 19th over to bring the team closer to victory. He was eventually dismissed by Arshdeep in the final over for 54 runs ending the home team's chances to snatch victory from jaws of defeat.

For India Varun Chakravarthy was a tad expensive but finished with figure of 2/54. Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/37

Earlier in the day South African captain Aiden Markram won the toss for the third consecutive time and sent Team India to bat. Tilak Varma, who was promoted to No 3, stepped up after Sanju Samson departed for successive duck. The left-hander hammered a 51-ball 100, propelling the tourists to 219/6 in 20 overs.

With the series at stake, Team India and host South Africa will be battling each other in the 3rd T20I match at Centurion's Super Sport Park on Wednesday, November 13. The four-match series is currently locked at 1-1 after Proteas registered 3 wicket win against Men in Blue in the 2nd T20I at Gqeberha which also brought an end to visiting team's 11 match winning streak.

Chasing 125 runs for victory, the Proteas were bamboozled by Varun Ckaravarthy with his spin. The mystery spinner registered his maiden five wicket haul to help India make a comeback in the match. The Men in Blue looked on course for a victory before Tristian Stubbs snatched the victory for the home team from the jaws of defeat with an unbeaten knock of 47 runs. Coetzee supported Stubbs with quickfire 19 runs of 9 balls to seal the deal for South Africa.

Team India's batting lineup failed to get going in the previous match which resulted din them posting a low score on board. The form of Abhsiek Sharma at the top is a cause of concern, while Suryakumar Yadav will also have to come up with big knock in this crucial encounter.

South Africa on the other hand have struggled against Indian spinners in the first two matches of the series. Aiden Markaram and his men would want to put spin demons behind them and make a fresh start at Centurion. Expect yet another cracking contest between both these sides
