Background

India and South Africa have had an intense T20I series so far, with the former emerging victorious in the first, and the latter dominating the second encounter.

They now head to the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala for their third encounter. 

Interestingly, the Men in Blue have faced the Proteas here before, back in 2015, and in that match, it was the visitors who walked away with a victory. 

Will the dynamics change this time around? That remains to be seen on December 14, 2025, 7:00 PM IST onwards, which is when the IND vs SA 3rd T20I is scheduled to start.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Match Dynamics

India's Tilak Varma and South Africa's Quinton de Kock are two players to watch out for in this upcoming fixture. 

The former has been playing inning-building knocks on a rather consistent basis, whereas the latter has roared to form after a duck in the first T20I. 

The HPCA Stadium has seen big scores traditionally in the IPL, and with the fire power on both sides, this match has all the potential to be a cracker. 

That being said, the spotlight will also be on Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav. Both are big names in the Indian team, but have failed to register extended, high-scoring innings in the format for a long time now.

In fact, the pressure is particularly high on Gill, as other opening batsmen like Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also knocking on the door for a place in the squad.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Full Squads

India - Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar

South Africa - Aiden Markram, Ottneil Baartman, Corbin Bosch, Dewald Brevis, Quinton de Kock, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, George Linde, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Tristan Stubbs

IND vs SA Live Score: INDIA WIN

A four from Shivam Dube finishes the match. India have won this fixture convincingly by 7 wickets and now lead the series 2-1.

Their bowlers had all but sealed the victory in the first innings itself, restricting South Africa on 117 runs. A fiery start from Abhishek Sharma put them even closer, and while there were some quiet overs since his dismissal, a cameo from Dube ended things in quick fashion.

He, having scored 10 off 4, was at the crease with Tilak Varma, who scored 26 runs off 34 deliveries.
