Commentary

Shikhar Dhawan is handed the trophy and he goes on to share it with his teammates and they all pose for a picture. Right then! That ends South Africa's tour of India. The hosts have won both the T20I series and the ODI series as well. Both sides will now play the mega event in Australia. For now, it's goodbye!

Shikhar Dhawan says that he is really proud of the boys and the way they played showing maturity. Adds that they created a great atmosphere and showed great character after being 1-0 down. Claims that they never really put pressure on themselves and they knew that if they stuck to the basics, the results would come on their own. Mentions that the wickets weren't batting friendly but the batters did a good job and the bowlers exploited the wicket well.

Mohammed Siraj is the Player of the Series and he says that whenever he bowls he gives his 100 percent. Adds that with the new ball he tries to find the right area but he pulls his length back a bit after 15 overs since it does not swing as much. Mentions that as fast bowlers sometimes they have to be aggressive and have that fire.

Kuldeep Yadav is the Player of the Match for figures of 4 wickets for 18 runs. He says that he is very happy to get the award after coming back from an injury. Claims that he is in a great rhythm and the wicket also provided assistance. Claims that before his injury he was out of touch and now he wants to keep doing the right thing.

David Miller the captain of South Africa says that their batting was not up to the mark, scoring 99 did not help. Adds that it is a disappointing result and to finish the series like this is disappointing. Adds that the pitch was a bit two-paced, it was skidding on there was turn on offer as well, a bit tacky. Mentions that they were good in certain areas, they did manage to find their feet. But they need to perform better in ODIs.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Shubman Gill is up for a chat and he says that he is a bit disappointed with the way he got out but he is happy with this win and they have done well to get back after the first game. Mentions that it has been a pleasing series for them and a lot of young players including himself handled the pressure well. Adds that the talk in the management was just to express themselves and not to think about the bigger picture. Admits that there are exciting times ahead with the 50-over World Cup coming back.

The game was won by India in the first inning itself as the bowlers demolished the South African batting lineup. The spinners were on song as Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers claiming four wickets with Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Mohammed Siraj chipping in with two wickets each. Heinrich Klaasen was the only batter who looked like he could score freely but the rest was dismissed cheaply as they were unable to reach the 100-run mark. The Indian batters completed the formality thereafter and India have inflicted a series loss to Mark Boucher in his last series as head coach of the South African side.

India started the run chase looking solid and scoring boundaries at regular intervals. Shubman Gill displayed an array of gorgeous stroke-play as Shikhar Dhawan looked to play the anchor role. Some lazy running from the latter resulted in him being run out cheaply but they had put on a 42-run opening partnership until then. Ishan Kishan came into the bat but was dismissed by Bjorn Fortuin as he looked to take the attack to the spinner. Shreyas Iyer walked out to the middle and joined forces with Shubman Gill to take their team close to the finish line. The young opener fell one run short of what would have been a well-constructed half-century and looked in fine touch through the inning. None of the South African bowlers looked threatening enough to cause a collapse of a strong batting side and in the end succumbed to a feeble loss.

Shreyas Iyer has ended the game in style and it aptly defines his performance in this series! This has been a stunning win for India’s reserve side as they have completed a comprehensive 7-wicket win with almost 31 overs to spare and seal a 2-1 series win. The youngsters have done really well for the hosts and the future definitely looks bright for Indian cricket. The Proteas will be going to the T20 World Cup and would have hoped to do so with a series win under their belt but that is not to be. They will need to pick themselves up from this disappointment and do not have much time to do so before the mega event.

A length ball, tailing back in, around middle. Shubman Gill looks to flick this one but he misses and gets rapped on his pads. A huge shout for LBW, and the umpire raises his finger.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players have made their way out in the middle. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill walk out with their blades. Marco Jansen will begin with the new ball. Let's play!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! South Africa have been bundled out for double digits here, the bowlers certainly will come out hard at the Indians. But India will feel confident of chasing this one down and securing the series. Let's see how the second innings pans out. Stay tuned for the chase.

Kuldeep Yadav is up for a chat and he says that it was a perfect performance. Claims that he has been doing well since the Indian T20 League. Mentions that he missed out on a hat-trick and could have probably changed the bowling side or maybe delivered the ball quicker. Adds that he does not want to think too much about it and it was still a great game. Credits Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj he says that they bowled really well and got early wickets. Goes on to say that Shahbaz Ahmed also did well and the ball was sticking in the wicket with the fielders taking their catches well. Ends by saying that he has been working on his rhythm after coming back from injury and is not compromising on spin.

For South Africa, it's been a dismal batting show. Their innings never got going, and none of their batters had any answer to this awe-inspiring spin attack of India. Heinrich Klaasen scored 34 runs and was their highest run-getter, and only two other batters scored in double digits. They will be disappointed with putting on such a performance in the series decider. They need something special here to defend the target.

Shikhar Dhawan's decision to bowl first has certainly paid heavy dividends here. It all began with Mohammed Siraj causing trouble with the new ball. He grabbed two wickets in his first spell and pushed South Africa on the back foot straight away. Although it was Sundar who provided India with their first breakthrough. But the pacers Siraj and Avesh Khan kept the pressure going and had the Proteas struggling at 26 for three at the end of the Powerplay. The spinners were then introduced and wreaked havoc out there in the middle. They completely bamboozled the South African batters and wrapped the innings in the 29th over for only 99 on the board. Kuldeep Yadav was the leader of the pack, he grabbed 4 wickets, while Shahbaz Ahmed, Washington Sundar, and Mohammed Siraj ended with two wickets each.

What a first innings we have just witnessed here! It was all India throughout. They have put on a rollicking bowling show and have dismissed South Africa under 100 within 28 overs. This is South Africa's lowest total in an ODI against India. There is no doubt that India will be the happier side going into this break. It should be a walk in the park for them. For South Africa only a miracle can save them,

27.1W

OUT! CAUGHT! Kuldeep Yadav gets his fourth wicket and wraps up the South African inning for their lowest total against India in an ODI! Kuldeep Yadav floats this one full and straight in line with the stumps, Marco Jansen gets his front foot out the way and heaves the ball into the leg side. Does not get the sweetest on connections as the ball travels towards deep square leg where Avesh Khan takes yeat another catch to send South Africa packing.

25.50

Misses out on his Hat-trick here but South Africa have been pegged back here! A leg spinner bowled full and in line with the stumps, Lungi Ngidi pushes at this and gets an inside edge towards square leg.

Lungi Ngidi walks out to face the hat-trick ball.

25.4W

OUT! TIMBER! Kuldeep Yadav is on a Hat-trick as he is wiping out the tail here! He goes 'round the wicket to the new batter and floats the ball into the stumps from outside off. Anrich Nortje plays for the angle and does not read the googly as the ball straightens after pitching before clipping the off pole. Kuldeep Yadav looks absolutely thrilled and he will be bowling the Hat-trick to the number 11 batter.

Anrich Nortje comes to the crease.

25.3W

OUT! LBW! Kuldeep Yadav gets his second wicket and South Africa have now lost their eighth wicket! He serves this one full and just outside off, gets the ball to spin back into the batter. Bjorn Fortuin looks to block but gets hit on the pad. The Indian players are already celebrating and the umpire raises his finger. The batter does not even consider reviewing this and makes the long walk back to the shed.

25.20

Bowls a googly just outside off on a fuller length, Bjorn Fortuin pushes at the ball as it rolls towards cover-point and looks for a single. Ishan Kishan swoops in on the ball and throws it high over the keeper who brings the ball back down onto the stumps. Bjorn Fortuin gets a dive back in and makes it back into the crease as confirmed by the replays.

Run out chance! There is a throw at the keeper's end. But Bjorn Fortuin's dive has saved him here. Not Out it is!

25.10

Kuldeep Yadav begins the over with a full delivery wide outside off, Bjorn Fortuin gets his front foot forwards and strokes the ball to cover.

Pitched up this time, around off. Bjorn Fortuin strokes it down to long off for a single.

24.40

Quick again at 91 clicks, back of a length. Bjorn Fortuin blocks it out off the back foot.

Bjorn Fortuin makes his way out to the middle and now South Africa will have to depend on their tail to take them to a reasonable total.

24.3W

OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! This is excellent bowling from Shahbaz Ahmed. South Africa's last recognized batter departs. South Africa are in deep, deep trouble. Shahbaz Ahmed sticks to bowling the shorter ball, this one was a bit quicker at around 95 clicks, hint of away turn as well. Heinrich Klaasen stays in his crease and looks to cut it away. But he misses it this time and the ball clips the bails off. Shahbaz Ahmed grabs his second wicket and South Africa lose their seventh.

24.22

Two more! Another short one, around middle. Heinrich Klaasen uses the depth of his crease and pulls it wide of long on for a brace.

24.14

FOUR! Cut away! Nicely done! This one comes in with the arm, a short ball, around off. Heinrich Klaasen rocks back and slashes it past point for a boundary.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players have made their way out in the middle. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill walk out with their blades. Marco Jansen will begin with the new ball. Let's play!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! South Africa have been bundled out for double digits here, the bowlers certainly will come out hard at the Indians. But India will feel confident of chasing this one down and securing the series. Let's see how the second innings pans out. Stay tuned for the chase.

Kuldeep Yadav is up for a chat and he says that it was a perfect performance. Claims that he has been doing well since the Indian T20 League. Mentions that he missed out on a hat-trick and could have probably changed the bowling side or maybe delivered the ball quicker. Adds that he does not want to think too much about it and it was still a great game. Credits Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj he says that they bowled really well and got early wickets. Goes on to say that Shahbaz Ahmed also did well and the ball was sticking in the wicket with the fielders taking their catches well. Ends by saying that he has been working on his rhythm after coming back from injury and is not compromising on spin.

For South Africa, it's been a dismal batting show. Their innings never got going, and none of their batters had any answer to this awe-inspiring spin attack of India. Heinrich Klaasen scored 34 runs and was their highest run-getter, and only two other batters scored in double digits. They will be disappointed with putting on such a performance in the series decider. They need something special here to defend the target.

Shikhar Dhawan's decision to bowl first has certainly paid heavy dividends here. It all began with Mohammed Siraj causing trouble with the new ball. He grabbed two wickets in his first spell and pushed South Africa on the back foot straight away. Although it was Sundar who provided India with their first breakthrough. But the pacers Siraj and Avesh Khan kept the pressure going and had the Proteas struggling at 26 for three at the end of the Powerplay. The spinners were then introduced and wreaked havoc out there in the middle. They completely bamboozled the South African batters and wrapped the innings in the 29th over for only 99 on the board. Kuldeep Yadav was the leader of the pack, he grabbed 4 wickets, while Shahbaz Ahmed, Washington Sundar, and Mohammed Siraj ended with two wickets each.

What a first innings we have just witnessed here! It was all India throughout. They have put on a rollicking bowling show and have dismissed South Africa under 100 within 28 overs. This is South Africa's lowest total in an ODI against India. There is no doubt that India will be the happier side going into this break. It should be a walk in the park for them. For South Africa only a miracle can save them,

27.1W

OUT! CAUGHT! Kuldeep Yadav gets his fourth wicket and wraps up the South African inning for their lowest total against India in an ODI!

Does not get the sweetest on connections as the ball travels towards deep square leg where Avesh Khan takes yeat another catch to send South Africa packing.
