Just when we thought that Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock are having a great time on the field and are dominating the hosts, it was India’s Hardik Pandya who gave the breakthrough to the Men in Blue. He snapped the wicket of Reeza Hendricks who was supporting the South African captain from the other end as he was busy building a strong inning for the side. Hardik Pandya was supported by Virat Kohli who grabbed a stunning catch and got the first wicket. India Vs South Africa, Cricket Score 3rd T20I Match.

With this, Rezza made way to the pavilion n the score of 28 runs from 26 balls. He went on to hit four boundaries during the course of his innings. As of now, the South African team has Temba Bavuma as the new man in. The newbie has already slammed a couple of fours while Navdeep Saini was handling the bowling duties. Once again the pacer was a little expensive as he conceded 10 runs from the over. Hardik Pandya also gave away 10 runs but also churned out one wicket for the side.

For now, new skipper Quinton de Kock is still batting for his side and has become the third skipper to have scored fifty plus runs in the first two T20Is. Paul Stirling from Ireland stands on number one and Navneet Singh from Canada is at number two.

Talking about the game, India won the toss and elected to bat. Shikhar Dhawan gave a blistering start to the team scoring 36 runs. As India kept on losing wickets at regular intervals, they score 134 runs on the board for the opponents.
