Rinku Singh is the new batsman.

The Indian skipper scores consecutive half-centuries. Another mature inning from him and that too when the team was under pressure for a bit.

A brilliant half-century for Jaiswal. Despite two early falls, he didn't let India struggle and built a brilliant partnership with skipper Suryakumar Yadav. His inning consists of 6 fours and 2 sixes.

Shamsi hits SKY on the pads with a quicker one. South Africa takes a review as the umpire didn't raise his finger. The replay confirms it was pitched outside leg and SKY is saved.

Tilak Varma is out for a golden duck as he chips the ball straight to tmid-onon for an easy catch. South Africa are in control now.

Gill attempts a sweep, but the ball hits the pad umpirere gives it out immediately and Gill doesn't take a review in the first place. He walks back, scoring 12 runs.

"It is bone dry. It's been very hot. There'll be lots of runs on this, it looks pretty good. Expect a whole lot of runs and many sixes," Pommie Mbangwa reckons.

"We are gonna bowl first again. Fresh wicket, happy with how we chased the other night. There's room for improvement in all aspects. Opportunity tonight to fix that. It's big (to win a series against India). Great occasion, and hopefully,y the boys can express themselves. We've got three changes. Kesh comes back, Nandre Burger gets his debut and Donovan Ferreira comes in for Stubbs."

"We wanted to put runs on the board and defend. Looks a good track, don't think it'll change much. That's the brand of play we want to play, guys want to be fearless. A lot of positives from the last game. Same playing XI."

Andile Phehlukwayo smoked Jadeja for a six to complete the 152 chase for South Africa during the SA vs IND 2nd T20I match. The Proteas will be carrying a 1-0 lead when they face India in the 3rd T20I match at the Wanderers Stadium. The first match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to incessant rains. There were a few instances in the second match also but the Proteas' chase was reduced to 15 overs with the help of the DLS method. Reeza Hendricks played a classic 49-run knock to lead the run chase.
