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.

Squads

India: Virat Kohli (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Jaydev Unadkat, Shardul Thakur.

South Africa: JP Duminy (c), Farhaan Behardien, Junior Dala, Reeza Hendricks, Christiaan Jonker, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Chris Morris, Dane Paterson, Aaron Phangiso, Andile Phehlukwayo, Tabraiz Shamsi, Jon-Jon Smuts.
