Background
IND vs SA 3rd T20I Highlight: Hello and welcome again to ABP Live's live coverage of the 3rd India vs South Africa T20I match at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. After defeating the Proteas by 61 runs at Kingsmead, Durban, India faced a defeat in the thrilling 2nd T20I of the four-match series. With the series locked at 1-1, Suryakumar Yadav-led India will look to make it 2-1 and eliminate the risk of losing the series.
South Africa, on the other hand, will look to do the same. The Proteas are coming off a win in Gqeberha where Tristan Stubbs and Gerald Coetzee got the over the line with the bat. For India, Varun Chakaravarthy shone with the bowl and claimed the figures of 5-17 in 4 overs.
SuperSport Park has traditionally been a high-scoring venue in white-ball cricket, with an average score of 180. Batters have thrived at the venue and the conditions are expected to remain favourable, with mostly sunny weather making for a high-scoring encounter.
India have only played a T20I at Centurion once, back in 2018 when Virat Kohli captained the side. Hardik Pandya is the only player from that 11 still in the current squad. In that match, South Africa comfortably chased down India's total of 188. With South Africa opting to bowl in the previous games, it's likely that the captain winning the toss will choose to bowl first once again, given the pitch’s reputation as a belter.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I Live Score: India Lead Series 2-1
India held their nerve to secure a thrilling victory and take the lead in the series. When Heinrich Klaasen took on Varun Chakaravarthy, it seemed like the Proteas were in control, but Arshdeep Singh dismissed him. Marco Jansen's explosive 16-ball fifty made things tense, but once again, Arshdeep stepped up to remove him. Two crucial wickets at key moments helped India cross the line. In a venue where chasing has often been successful, South Africa had hopes, but their openers got starts and threw them away. Aiden Markram looked poised for a big score before Chakaravarthy dismissed him. David Miller struggled early, but Klaasen's assault on Chakaravarthy lifted the SA's mood. After Hardik provided a hit-me ball, Klaasen got going, but Axar took a brilliant catch to send him packing. With India looking in control, Jansen's 26 off the penultimate over kept South Africa's hopes alive. Arshdeep, however, bowled a superb final over to seal the win.
Tilak Varma, for his brilliant, century gets the Player of the Match award.
