IND vs SA 3rd T20I LIVE SCORE: It has been a rain-affected T20I series between India and South Africa so far. While the first match of the series was abandoned without a ball being bowled, the second match was a curtailed one. Rain came in when India had batted 19. 4 overs and put on 180/7. The revised conditions meant, the Proteas were given a target of 152 in 15 overs which looked stern at the outset but as it turned out, the Men From The Rainbow nation chased it down with 5 wickets in hand and 7 balls remaining.
That sets things up nicely for the final T20I of the series as the action now moves to Johannesburg. Only one team can clinch the series from here and that happens to be South Africa who are 1-0 ahead. However, the series may not be the only thing in mind in the management of these two teams, especially with the T20 World Cup in mind. The larger goal would be to build a team that can help them lift the Cup.
That makes things interesting especially with regards to a place in the side is concerned. While India went in with Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second T20I, that meant there was no place for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Meanwhile, there was no Shreyas Iyer either. Does that mean India go in with the same combination? Arsdeep Singh too looked far from his best which could tempt the captain to go to somebody else.
Similar dilemmas could be there in the South African camp even as they sense an opportunity to claim a bilateral series. Brace yourselves for another exciting game of cricket.

India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad/Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav/Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar
