DHARAMSALA (Web Desk): India vs South Africa 3rd T20I saw India dominate with the ball as South Africa were restricted to 117 despite Aiden Markram’s fighting 61.

South Africa never recovered from a disastrous powerplay in the India vs South Africa encounter. Indian bowlers struck early, removing the top order and putting the visitors under constant pressure.

Aiden Markram showed resistance and scored a gritty 61, standing firm while wickets fell around him. However, the lack of support from other batters meant South Africa could not post a competitive total.

India’s bowling attack stayed disciplined throughout the innings. Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav kept things tight and denied South Africa any late momentum.

Kuldeep Yadav sealed the innings in style during the India vs South Africa clash. He induced a mistimed shot from Baartman, caught by Suryakumar Yadav, and later outfoxed Anrich Nortje for a simple stumping by Jitesh Sharma.
