South Africa Collapses Against India in the 3rd T20I

South Africa’s innings showed some disappointment to the fans, finishing at 117 all out in 20 overs in the 3rd T20I. 

Aiden Markram fought a lone battle, scoring the innings with a fighting 61 off 48 balls. He rotated the strike well and punished anything loose, but wickets fell at the other end. No other batsman matched the same intent; however, Donovan Ferreira somehow managed 20 runs. The last six wickets tumbled for a handful of runs, leaving the total far below par. To be honest, the disappointment among South African fans is clear, and it seems that they already know what the result is gonna come. 

On the other hand, Indian bowlers look comfortable and calm as they have restricted the opponents to a low score. SA has scored above 200 in the 2nd T20I, and this score seems an easy target for the Indian strong batting side. 

Harshit Rana’s incisive bowling removed top-order threats before they could settle as he took 2 crucial wickets. Arshdeep Singh maintained relentless pressure with his pace, swinging the ball late and forcing edges, and took 2 wickets for just 14 runs. 

Hardik Pandya made his mark not just with wickets but with history. The all-rounder became the first fast-bowling T20I player to achieve 100 wickets and 1,000 runs. His clever variations and disciplined lengths stifled any momentum South Africa tried to generate, setting up a platform for India’s spinners.

Kuldeep Yadav finished the job, claiming the final wickets with his slow left-arm spin. He ended with two wickets and ensured that South Africa never threatened to recover. The combination of pace, swing, and spin left the visitors rattled.
