Team India's clinical performance against South Africa in the 3rd ODI
Indian bowlers produced a brilliant collective effort in the afternoon to back their captain's decision to bowl first. The Proteas openers began the innings watchfully before Quinton de Kock (six) departed in the third over with just seven runs on the scoreboard.
From there on, wickets fell like a house of cards, leading to an unceremonious collapse. Heinrich Klaasen (34) showed some resistance for a while, but his departure in the 25th over as the seventh wicket ended South Africa's hopes of a resurgence.
The visitors skittled out for a mere 99 in 27.1 overs. Kuldeep Yadav (4/18), Washington Sundar (2/15), Mohammed Siraj (2/17), and Shahbaz Ahmed (2/32) bowled exceptionally for the hosts.
India chased the total in 19.5 overs and won the match by seven wickets. Shikhar Dhawan (eight off 14 balls) and Ishan Kishan (10 off 18 balls) failed to get going for the Men in Blue. Opener Shubman Gill (49) looked in decent touch and took his side to the winning shores.
Gill fell one run short of a half-century in the 19th over, with Team India on the brink of a victory. Shreyas Iyer (28*) then finished the match in style with a six in the 20th over in the company of Sanju Samson (two*).
Speaking after the conclusion of the match, Team India opener Gill reflected on the series win and said:
"Definitely quite disappointed with the way I got out but the way we came back in the series was special. Especially the way the bowlers bowled was great. It was a really pleasing series for us.
He added:
"Doesn't matter what the result is. In the team meetings we were talking about just trusting the process and play the way we've been playing. Exciting times for us with the 50-over Asia Cup coming up and a lot of one-day series coming up. And a World Cup in India is very special."
Team India will start their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on October 3.
