Commentary

The Indian team bounced back with a comprehensive show to hand South Africa a 48-run defeat and keep the five match series alive.

The bowlers, who failed to defend the total in the previous two games, guided India to a massive win in the third T20I in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. Harshal Patel led the bowling attack picking up four wickets. This was Rishabh Pant's first win as India captain.

After being invited to bat first, India's innings was a tale of two halves. While the first half saw the openers put up a stand of 97 off 60, the second half saw the hosts struggle to build on the strong start as they lost quick wickets. Hardik Pandya's (31 off 21) cameo at the end saw India post 179/5.

In reply, South Africa struggled from the onset as they lost their skipper early. Axar Patel handed India the breakthrough to reduce South Africa to 23/1 in four overs. Harshal Patel struck on the last ball of the powerplay to remove Reeza Hendricks (23 off 20) and reduce South Africa 38/2 at the end of six overs.

The visitors kept losing wicket as the run rate creeped up. The Indian bowlers who failed to defend in the first two games, came through to keep the series alive.

For India, Patel picked up four and Yuzvendra Chahal pocketed three to bowl South Africa out for 131.

Earlier, after being sent in to bat, openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan handed India a flying start. The duo stitched together an opening stand of 97 off 60 to set the hosts up for a big total.
