RSA 208-7 (20) | IND Vs SA, 3rd T20 Highlights: IND Beat SA By 11 runs

India vs South Africa, 3rd T20 Match Highlights: Suryakumar Yadav's side won the first T20I and fell short in the second one.

The new-look Indian team after the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is on its first big tour and the way they started the series against South Africa was commendable. Riding on a superb century by Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav's side won the first T20I of the four-match series, however, in the 2nd T20I South Africa bounced back with a fighting win in a low-scoring thriller. India is putting up a superb show given that only Arshdeep Singh is the experienced pacer in the side. The batting looks pretty decent right from the top but Abhishek Sharma is running out of chances with failures in the Bangladesh series as well. Team India need to win the game in order to win the series. On the other hand, South Africa will want to continue on the winning track.

IND vs SA 3rd T20 Live: Captains Corner

Aiden Markram: We are going to bowl first again. The wicket looks good. Not quite at our best. We are making slow progress. The bowlers did a good job in the last game. The batters need to spend time in the middle and not be too desperate. We have full trust in our batting unit and hope we do something special tonight.

Suryakumar Yadav: It is okay. We have done well in the last two games while batting first. The boys have come out with clear plans and are executing it, I have been really happy with that. Just be clear, go out and enjoy yourself (the message from him and the management). These boys have made my job easier. We have one change - Ramandeep makes his debut. Avesh has done well for us but one of the two bowlers had to make a sacrifice.
