OUT!!! Nandre Burger has provided South Africa with their first breakthrough as he dismissed Rajat Patidar for 22. After being hit for a six and a four, Burger makes a remarkable comeback as he removed the leg-stump of the Indian batter. First wicket gone for India. 

IND 34/1 (4.4 overs)

India vs Australia Live: FOUR

FOUR!!! Sai Sudarshan joins the party in style and smashes a boundary off Lizaad Williams’ delivery. Sudarshan leans forward and hits it hard towards the square leg as the ball dodges the fielder and goes past the boundary line for a four. 

IND 24/0 (4 overs)

IND vs SA Live Score: Burger to the rescue

Nandre Burger has been really economical so far. In his previous over, he concedes only three runs as South Africa’s hunt for their first wicket continues. On the other hand, Sai Sudarshan and Rajat Patidar aim for some more boundaries in the coming overs. 

IND 20/0 (3 overs)

IND vs SA Live Score: 12 runs off the over

After a slow start, India gain momentum in the second over as Rajat Patidar stats dealing in boundaries. In the previous over of Lizaad Williams, Patidar smashes two boundaries as the Proteas pacer concedes 12 runs. A good start for India. 

IND 17/0 (2 overs)

IND vs SA Live Score: FOUR

FOUR!!! Rajat Patidar gets the first boundary of the day and it comes off Lizaad Williams’ delivery. Patidar wait for the ball and plays a lovely backfoot punch dead square of the wicket as it races a cross the boundary for a terrific boundary. 

IND 10/0 (1.2 overs)

IND vs SA Live Score: Good over from Burger

India have got a moderate start in the first over against South Africa as Nandre Burger kept them in check. In the first over, Burger concedes only five runs as Rajat Patidar and Sai Sudarshan aim for boundaries in the coming overs. On the other hand, South Africa aim to scalp some quick wickets. 

IND 5/0 (1 overs)

IND vs SA Live Score: Here’s what KL Rahul said at the toss

Not really bothered by being asked to bat first. The wicket will be even for both innings and the lights come on pretty late here. We got ourselves to a good position in the previous game but ended up losing 5 wickets for 40 odd runs. Once we get a good start, we have to make it count. Today is another opportunity for the boys to prove themselves. This looks like a much better wicket than the previous two, hopefully we can get plenty of runs on the board. Two changes – Rajat Patidar makes his ODI debut, Rutu misses out after doing some damage to his finger. Also, Kuldeep gets a rest and Washington Sundar comes in.

IND vs SA Live Score: Here’s what Aiden Markram said at the toss

We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, won’t change too much. We want to keep challenging ourselves, hopefully we can take wickets regularly and restrict them to a low total. One last push for most of the guys before a nice break, we’ll try our best. Expect more of the same we did in the second ODI. The dimensions here are certainly different, so running hard between wickets will be key. No changes.

IND vs SA Live Score: Toss

South Africa skipper Aiden Markram won the toss and opted to bowl against India in the third and final ODI on Thursday in Paarl. 

IND vs SA Live Score: Rajat Patidar to make debut

As per the latest visuals coming from Paarl, batter Rajat Patidar is all set to make his international debut in the third ODI against South Africa. Earlier in the first ODI, batter Sai Sudarshan also earned his debut cap. 

IND vs SA Live Score: Thrilling series finale

After facing a defeat in the first ODI, the Proteas convincingly won the second ODI and have managed to keep the series alive. Tony de Zorzi’s unbeaten 122-ball 119 guided his side home. However, the KL Rahul-led side will aim for a better outing in the third match, in order to claim the three-match series.
