Highlights, India vs South Africa, 3rd T20I at Cape Town: Jonker blitz in vain, India seal series

Welcome to CricketCountry's live coverage of India vs South Africa 2017-18. This is the third and the final T20I of the series to be played at Cape Town.

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of India vs South Africa 2017-18. We are back to Cape Town for the final game of the tour. It was here where it all started in the first week of January. This is the third and the final T20I of the series. Here you will get all the live scores and updates from the match. India, who have been the dominant side in the limited-overs leg of the tour, won the first T20I but the hosts levelled it in the following game. The last match of the tour hence stands as a decider to see who wins the final series.

India have never lost a bilateral T20I series, but they have never played a T20I at Cape Town. Though South Africa have experience of playing at the venue, they do not have an impressive win-loss ratio – winning only three of the five matches they have played. India, on the other hand, hold a better win-loss ratio against South Africa in T20Is.

Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Manish  Pandey are at the brink of breaking records and will be the players to watch out for in the match.
