LIVE CRICKET SCORECARD: India vs South Africa 2015, 3rd T20I at Kolkata
India will take on South Africa in the third and final Twenty20 International (T20I) at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Thursday. India were pipped by a small margin in the first T20I at Dharamsala, but South Africa absolutely ravaged them in the second match at Cuttack. Sadly, the Barabati spectators ended up hurling water bottles on the ground and reduced the game to an embarrassment. India, both the cricket team and the country, will hope that this was merely an aberration. Eden Gardens has a volatile history with unruly crowds as well, but have gone back to being a cricket-loving crowd over the last decade or so. INDIA vs SOUTH AFRICA 3rd T20I AT KOLKATA: PREVIEW
