Having already lost the ongoing ODI series against South Africa, India will look to adjust to the tempo of 50-over cricket and win the third and final match on Sunday to avoid a whitewash.

KL Rahul-led side lost the first ODI by 31 runs while they suffered a seven-wicket defeat in the second match of the three-match series on Friday.

Having learned the lessons from the hosts' batting, India will have to alter their plans to find solutions to their middle-over woes. The batting lost its way in the middle overs in both matches despite promising starts and there could be potential changes to the Indian playing XI.

The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have shown their glimpses of brilliance, but they need to fire collectively and score big if Team India wants to win. Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer have failed to impress with the bat so the team management will try Suryakumar Yadav in the final ODI.

The bowling, on the other hand, also hasn't really troubled South Africa much. India's bowlers have struggled to make inroads in the Powerplay in the last couple of years, and it is something the team will want to rectify in Cape Town, on what is expected to be a spicier pitch compared to the sluggish surface in Paarl.

India need 65 runs in 48 balls
 

20:40 IST

Sheyas Iyer has also departed after scoring just 26. Deepak Chahar has walked in and he needs to give a good supporting hand to Suryakumar Yadav who is playing well.

Dhawan gone for 61. Played well but was trying to play one shot too many and paid the price. Partnership broken. Phehlukwayo with the wicket. Rishabh Pant walks in. 

IND 116/2, need 172 runs to win

19:36 IST

FIFTY for Dhawan and what a knock this has been from him so far. He has looked to rotate the strike and has never missed out on fours and sixes. Kohli too going strong. India go past 100, looking good in the chase.

IND 107/1 after 20 overs

19:35 IST

IND 70/1 after 14 overs

Kohli and Dhawan are going slowly here. A nice partnership has been formed and they need to continue doing the good work.

18:47 IST

IND 51/1 after 10.1 overs

One wicket to fall that is of Rahul who scored 9 off 10 balls. Virat is looking good, he is looking to give bowlers a charge as they are not offering much pace on the ball. Dhawan too looks in touch. India have gone past fifty here. Need a solid base here. 

18:42 IST

KL Rahul and Dhawan are out to open as India begin the chase of 288 runs.

17:51 IST

Alright, South Africa bowled out for 287.

India pulled things back superbly after fall of de Kock as the hosts were looking set to cross the 300-mark easily. Top spells from Bumrah and Krishna in the end.

India need 288 to win third ODI.

Prasidh Krishna removes Pretorious for 20. SA lose their seventh wicket. They are aiming for a 300. 

SA 273/7 after 47.3 overs

16:53 IST

SA 246/6 after 43 overs

India have been able to pick wickets in quick succession but now David Miller and Pretorious are trying to up the ante in the slog overs. India need to watch out here.

16:44 IST

OUT!

Bumrah strikes and removes his former Mumbai Indians teammate de Kock. He is gone for 124. Has done his job. One of the finest ODI innings you would see. 

SA 214/4 after 35.4 overs

16:26 IST

Fifty for Rassie!

What a form he is in. Rassie van der Dussen completes fifty. He is making it count every single time and it is becoming difficult for India to get him out.

SA 207/3 after 34.3 overs

15:41 IST

De Kock completes 100 

Quinton de Kock slams another hundred against India. He clearly enjoys facing Indian bowling and he is having a feast again, playing some lovely strokes and playing at will. India in big trouble here. Seems like visitors will be chasing a massive total. 

SA 173/3 after 30.2 overs

15:14 IST

FIFTY!

De Kock completed another fifty against India. He has five hundreds against the Indians and he seems to be in the mood to add another one.

SA 101/3 after 19.4 overs

OUT!

That's the end of Markram who is gone for 15 made off 14 balls. Deepal Chahar with the wicket. Rassie van der Dussen, right handed bat, comes to the crease

SA 71/3 after 12.3 overs

15:00 IST

SA 69/2 after 12 overs

After fall of two quick wickets early on, De Kock and Markram have brought some sort of stability to the innings. Indians continue to look for the third wicket but both of these batters have looked untroubled so far.

14:26 IST
