India vs South Africa : India is set to face South Africa in the third T20 International of their four-match series in Centurion, South Africa, this evening, with the game scheduled to start at 8:30 PM.
The series is currently tied 1-1, following South Africa’s three-wicket win in a low-scoring thriller last Sunday. After winning the toss and opting to bowl, the hosts restricted India to just 124 for 6 in 20 overs.
South Africa chased down the target, reaching 128 with three wickets in hand and six balls remaining. India had previously taken the lead in the series opener, defeating the Proteas by a significant margin of 61 runs. The series finale will take place on Friday.
India’s top-order form will be under scrutiny as they take on South Africa in the third T20I on Wednesday in Centurion. Although Sanju Samson’s brilliant century in Durban led India to victory in the first match, the visitors’ batting lineup collapsed against the South African bowlers in Gqeberha.
Young opener Abhishek Sharma faces mounting pressure, having failed to score over 20 runs in his last seven outings. Captain Suryakumar Yadav has also been inconsistent, aside from his notable 75 against Bangladesh.
