And the last wicket has fallen! India dismiss SA for 179 to win by a mammoth 124 runs. Kuldeep takes his fourth wicket by trapping Ngidi (6) in front to signal third win on the trot for the visitors, who now take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the six-match series. Besides Kuldeep (4/23), his spin partner Chahal (4/46) excelled once again as the duo continues to torment the hosts, taking their combined tally of wickets in three matches to 21. 

Virat Kohli's 160 not out set it up for India and Kuldeep-Chahal provided the finishing act. So it's confirmed now that for the first time in history, an Indian ODI team will leave South Africa without losing the series. Having said that, Team India will, in all likelihood, leave with the trophy tucked under in its arm.

Yuzvendra takes his fourth wicket. Imran Tahir is his latest victim. Goes for a big shot but finds Virat Kohli in the wide mid-on area. Tahir made 8. South Africa 167/9 in 38.4 overs.
