Commentary :
0.0 : ... Match Day ...
Hello and a warm welcome to the third and final ODI of the three-match series between South Africa and India at the Newlands in Cape Town. The hosts have already wrapped up the series and will be looking for a clean sweep here. India, on the other hand, will be looking to end a disappointing series with a win. This might be a dead rubber but when you are playing for your country, there is always plenty at stake.
The second ODI panned out pretty much the same way as the first ODI and the visitors were found wanting yet again. India have not been able to control the match on the whole and they need more passages of positive play. The batting has been patchy and even though, a couple of players have managed to play well, the lack of big partnerships up the order has hurt them. Thakur has certainly been a positive down the order and Pant has shown his worth as well. The bowling though has been an even bigge
Well, not a lot of people expected the hosts to be so dominant against a side of India's stature, in spite of how depleted the visitors might be, but boy, the Proteas have been brilliant. They have managed to keep the Indian batters at bay in both the games and with the bat, they have just been excellent. The top order might have failed in the first match but both, Malan and de Kock were just sensational in the second match. And just like the first match, their middle order played sensibly and s
Toss - Both the skippers are out in the middle and Temba Bavuma flips the coin. It lands in favour of India and they will BOWL first!
South Africa (Playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), Janneman Malan, Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma (C), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius (In for Tabraiz Shamsi), Keshav Maharaj, Sisanda Magala, Lungi Ngidi. 
India (Playing XI) - KL Rahul (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav (In for Venkatesh Iyer), Jayant Yadav (In for Ravichandran Ashwin), Deepak Chahar (In for Shardul Thakur), Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna (In for Bhuvneshwar Kumar).
Temba Bavuma, the skipper of South Africa, says that Dwaine Pretorius is in for Tabraiz Shamsi. Adds that it is very important that they don't drop their intensity and keep pushing their standard higher and higher. Says that the change in venue is a different challenge as batting in the first few overs might be difficult. Confesses that he doesn't really know what a winning total might look like here but anything over 300 should be good.
PITCH REPORT - Dale Steyn says that there are a few sticky patches just like KL Rahul mentioned and with two new balls, the Indian pacers will look to get early breakthroughs. He adds that it is very hot in Cape Town today and it will get easy for the batters if they are able to fend off the new ball.
KL Rahul, the Indian skipper, says they will have a bowl first because the wicket feels a bit sticky and they will try and get a few early wickets. He adds that they value each result and work hard as a team to win every match and the boys do work really hard which makes things easy as a captain. He also mentions that they will look to make use of the ball early on and win it with the bat later on. Adds that there are a few things that they need to fix and a few things to get better at as indivi

Done with the national anthems and it's time to play! South African openers, Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock take guard as the Indian players spread out on the field.

Bavuma is quick to get out of the blocks but doesn't quite run in a straight line after crossing the bowler and instead angles away to his left.

47.6 : Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, Miller wants two but Maharaj says no. Slower one, angled at the pads. Miller bunts it into the vacant square leg region for a single. He will keep strike for the next over.
48.1 : Jasprit Bumrah to David Miller, Bumrah bowls ths cutter, on middle. Miller adjusts well to the extra bounce and guides it towards short third man. They take one.
48.2 : Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj, Swing and a miss! Full and wide, it was in the slot a bit. Maharaj moves leg side and throws his hands at it but isn't able to make a connection.
48.3 : Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj, Slower one, pushed wider. Maharaj drags it from outside off and heaves it towards wide long on for a single.
48.4 : Jasprit Bumrah to David Miller, Brilliant bowling! Miller tries to unsettle Bumrah as he moves inside the crease. Bumrah though fires in a yorker at the toes, at 141 kph. Miller just about jams it out on the leg side and picks up a single.
48.5 : Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj, OUT! TAKEN! Jasprit Bumrah is just too good at the death and we can see why. Bumrah goes full and wide but takes the pace off the ball. The ball is taken away from Keshav Maharaj's hitting arc and he is forced to fetch it. And fetch it he does. Maharaj drags this one and lifts it straight back over the bowler's head. Virat Kohli moves to his left from long on and takes an assured catch.
Sisanda Magala is the new man in.
48.6 : Jasprit Bumrah to David Miller, Full and straight, flicked through mid-wicket for one. Miller will have the strike for the last over.
49.1 : Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, FOUR! Full and very wide, slower too. David Miller throws his hands at it and manages to slice it over backward point for a boundary.
49.2 : Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, Shorter in length, at the body. Miller looks to pull but takes his eyes off the ball. The ball goes off his arm and towards point.
49.3 : Lungi Ngidi is the last batter.
Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, OUT! TAKEN! This is smart bowling from Prasidh Krishna and he picks up his second wicket. This is pushed well wide and is slower in pace. At this stage, Miller just has to go for the big shot and he looks to lift this one over the cover region. The ball comes off of the toe end of the bat and flies towards wide long off. Virat Kohli settles under it and takes a calm catch, right on the ropes. India have pulled things back well in the final overs.
49.4 : Prasidh Krishna to Sisanda Magala, A yorker, around off and Nigidi can do nothing about it.
49.5 : Prasidh Krishna to Sisanda Magala, OUT! TAKEN! That's that and South Africa have been bowled out for 287! Prasidh Krishna goes for the slower one yet again and pitches this one right up, on off stump. Sisanda Magala makes room and looks to smash it over extra cover. Mangala gets no timing whatsoever on it and hits it straight towards KL Rahul at extra cover. The skipper takes a comfortable catch and that will be the end of the South African innings. Prasidh Krishna ends with 3 wicket
At the 30-over mark, South Africa would have been expecting a score beyond 320 probably. But India have done well after that to restrict them to a much lower score than that. Still, this remains a good score but nowhere close to what the hosts should have gotten.
For South Africa it was all about one partnership. They lost their top order quite early and were in some trouble at 70 for 3. Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock then stitched a lovely stand to get their side back on top. The pair added 144 runs for the fourth wicket with de Kock getting a brilliant ton and van der Dussen going past the half-century mark as well. They were well set and South Africa were 170 for 3 at the 30-over mark. They would have wanted to get a big score post that b
India had a good comeback with the ball. They took early wickets with Deepak Chahar striking at the start and there was also a run out. The spinners then troubled the South African batters a bit but didn't break the big stand in the middle overs. It was looking like they would have to chase a big total but they got back in the game by picking up regular wickets. Bumrah came back and got rid of de Kock and Chahal got the wicket of van der Dussen soon. They kept the intensity up after that and ne
Right then! 288 is what India need to end the series with a win. The pitch is quite good to bat on and they would back themselves to chase it. But they need a couple of big stands and that has been a concern for them in the series. Will India chase it down or will South Africa's attack make lives difficult for the batters yet again? Stay with us to find out.
... The Run Chase ...
We are back for the chase! KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan are sitting near the ropes. The fielders are warming up on the field.Â
