Check match and telecast details of third India vs South Africa T20I match. South Africa lead 2-0 in the five-match series.
Only a few days ago, India were chasing a 13th straight T20 International win. But now, they are staring at a series defeat against South Africa at home. Down 0-2 after defeats in Delhi and Cuttack, Rishabh Pant & Co. face the Proteas in a must-win match in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. The third IND vs SA, T20I match will be telecast live.
It's T20 World Cup year, and India are in a trial mode. But losing back-to-back T20 International matches to a visiting team tells a different story, that of poor planning, or even complete lack of it. Now, they need a comeback plan to save the series.
KL Rahul was supposed to lead India, in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma. But he got injured on the eve of the series opener in Delhi, and Rishabh Pant got promoted as the captain. India lost the match by seven wickets despite posting 211/4 with Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller stitching an unbeaten 131-run stand.
India fielded the same playing XI in Cuttack, and were restricted to 148/6. The Proteas then found a new hero with the bat in Heinrich Klaasen, who hit a majestic 81 off 46. Bhuvneshwar Kumar claimed figures of 4/13, but his effort was reduced to a mere footnote, just like Ishan Kishan's 76 off 48 in Delhi.
India lead South Africa 9-8 in the head-to-head records, but the Proteas have won the last three meetings. India last beat South Africa in 2019. In fact, the visitors have a 5-1 record in India.
