South Africa is all set to take on Indian in the third T20I of the four match series. This match will be played at the SuperSport Park in Centurion South Africa on November 13 at 8:30 PM IST.

The Indian team under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav made a brilliant start to the series. The opening batter and wicketkeeper of the team, Sanju Samson scored a brilliant century in the first match and laid the foundation for a formidable total. Courtesy of the brilliant knock by Samson, India posted a total which proved too much for the home team and India won the game convincingly.

India would have hoped to win the second match of the series and take an unassailable lead in the series. However, the Aiden Markram-led side bounced back strongly in the second match. The South African bowlers dominated the proceedings against the Indian batters and restricted them to a moderate total. Even though the Indian bowlers staged a fightback it was not enough to stop the home team.

With series levelled, both the teams will try and win this game and move onto the final match with an advantage.
