Cricket Scorecard

We are back for the chase! KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan are sitting near the ropes. The fielders are warming up on the field. 

... The Run Chase ...

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.

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

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

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.

Prasidh Krishna to Sisanda Magala, ! 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

Prasidh Krishna to Sisanda Magala, A yorker, around off and Nigidi can do nothing about it.

Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, ! 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.

He also mentions that they will look to make use of the ball early on and win it with the bat later on.

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.

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!

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

... 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

We are back for the chase! KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan are sitting near the ropes. The fielders are warming up on the field. 

... The Run Chase ...

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.

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

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

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.

Prasidh Krishna to Sisanda Magala, ! 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

Prasidh Krishna to Sisanda Magala, A yorker, around off and Nigidi can do nothing about it.

Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, ! 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.

Lungi Ngidi is the last batter.

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.

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

... 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
