42.6 Arshdeep Singh to Maharaj, OUT

Picks out Rinku at deep square! Arshdeep's change of pace works. Bowls one into the pitch, takes pace off and Maharaj ends up dragging it from outside off to the man in the deep.

44.1 Arshdeep Singh to Williams, OUT

The late tail has got him! Williams reviews the lbw shout but it's pointless. Hawkeye confirms the ball would've hit leg. Three reds so the onfield decision will stay. Fourth wicket for Arshdeep.

Player of the series arshdeep?

A clinical performance from India, they win the game and thereby also win the series 2-1. Considering this isn't nearly India's full strength team, that's an excellent result. It was a great effort with bat from India as they posted 296 after being in a spot of bother. They were led by a prolific century from Sanju Samson, his first in international cricket, and although it wasn't the biggest of totals, they bowled well to make it seem like a lot more than it was. South Africa were actually going along nicely, de Zorzi was once again the pick of the batters as he made a fluent 81. They were going along nicely at 141/2 at the halfway mark but that's when the tide turned.

45.5 Avesh Khan to Hendricks, OUT

That's the end of that. It's a series win for this young Indian team. Avesh bowls a slower length ball outside off. Hendricks is looking to walk across to scoop but has no pace to work with, ends up lobbing one in the air off the thick edge and Sanju takes an easy catch at short third.

Beuran Hendricks c Samson b Avesh Khan 18 (26b 2x4 0x6 36m) SR: 69.23

Aiden Markram's wicket proved to be just the opening India needed as they kept chipping away at the wickets at regular intervals. None of the Protean batters were able to hold fort and build a partnership and once Miller departed in the 38th over, it was only a matter of time before India won. Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the Indian bowlers with figures of 4/30 from 9 overs.

Sohum T: "Arshdeep with the best bowling average and bowling economy for India in 3rd ODI. He should be the player of the series."
