22:43 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA Live Score Updates: GAME OVER

Siraj dishes out the helicopter shot but the ball doesn`t cross the ropes because it was a slower one by Pretorius. Miller takes the catch and its all over. South Africa win the third T20I by 49 runs!  Team India take the series 2-1 

22:31 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA Live Score Updates: SIX and OUT!

Deepak Chahar bends down and smashes an outstanding SIX! The ball was pitched up by Pretorius on the off and Chahar, down on his knee, hits it over the ropes. But his cameo ends as Pretorius snares him on the very next ball. The slower one gets the better off Chahar. He is out for 31 off 17

SIX! From the bat of Chahar and 150 is up for India! This turns out to be a big over for India! Ngidi ends a terrible over and he has conceded 51 in his 3 overs. N1 6 0 1 4 2 Wd 1 = 17 from the over.

22:04 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA 3rd T20 Live Score: Why was Quinton running? 🫣😳🤥🙅🏻‍♂️💁‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

A proper comedy of errors ensued when Harshal Patel shovelled a dolly of a catch to short midwicket where Dwaine Pretorius put it down. Harshal ran for some reason, reminding one of Javagal Srinath who used to run helter skelter in his time. But so did the wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock, who pulled off his gloves and ran towards Pretorius. The on-air comms thought he was out to celebrate the catch but perhaps he ran to gather the ball that had slipped away from Pretorius. Whatever be the reason, he was out of position when Pretorius scrambled after the ball and threw at the striker’s end. Harshal, sent back by Axar Patel, had stumbled and fallen. But Pretorious in his hurry hadn’t seen all that. He had thrown the ball assuming de Kock would be behind the stumps. Instead the wicket-keeper was well away from his station and what’s more was in direct path to the stumps. And there was anguish all over with Pretorius pointing his arms at the stumps and silently imploring de Kock : why weren’t you there where you were supposed to be?

Is that another gone? Axar is walking back though. There`s an onfield review now. And it`s fairly taken. That`s given out by the 3rd umpire as well. IND 114/7 after 11.4 overs

21:57 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA Live Score Updates: Harshal hits and departs

Ngidi in to bowl the 11th. Can he come back from his expensive last over? Not a great start as Harshal hits him for a four!!! Just manages to evade Miller. Where has the fourth ball gone? Out of the ground!!!! Harshal went to the well too often and that reaches the fielder for another wicket. IND 108/6 after 10.5 overs

21:51 (IST)04 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Updates: Pant for Opener: a Delhi campaign somewhere 👯🏻‍♂️👯🏻‍♂️👯🏻‍♂️👯🏻‍♂️🌛

Rishabh Pant played an inning that would have given the Indian team management a tantalising opening option and a traumatic migraine. Pundits have repeatedly insisted that the ideal Rohit Sharma partner should be a good-old pinch hitter - a hard-hitter who can disturb the bowling plans and take care of the run rate. Such batters give Rohit time to settle and get into the zone where he is simply unstoppable. While the management insists that Virat Kohli is a stand-in opener, Pant fits the bill more. The very eventful Lungi Ngidi over where Pant scored 20 runs and got out on the final ball showed that the wicket-keeper could be the perfect foil to the captain at the top of the order. The T20 opener India never had. Early in the over Pant tried to play a cross batted slog to square but he missed the ball and was hit on the thigh. That`s not what you play against the new ball. But he got his opening act together soon. The other shots were a couple of immaculate straight drives that went for four. There was a perfect lofted six to long on also - it was the kind where batters pose for the extra few seconds to show their textbook elbow position. There was also a cut of a short ball that brought to mind two other Delhi openers - Shikhar Dhawan and Virender Sehwag. Pant for opener - a signature campaign for Pant as opener might have started somewhere in Delhi.

21:41 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA 3rd T20 Live Score: Karthik, SKY depart

Karthik is gone!!! Maharaj has absolutely rattled his stumps!! In the 8th over, SKY cannot replicate his recent form as Tristan Stubbs takes another low catch. IND 86/5 after 8 overs | South Africa are well and truly on

21:36 (IST)04 Oct 2022India vs South Africa 3rd T20 Live Updates: Last audition for those on the bench ⏳⏰🏟️🎠

The series had been decided, the World Cup was round the corner and India was looking to give everyone match time. So when Rohit Sharma got out in the second over of the game, the ones warming the bench for long got their chance to be on the central square. Suryakumar Yadav the hero of the series too was dropped down the order as the final game of the series turned into an audition of sorts. Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Dinesh Karthik finally had their time under the floodlights. However, the same was true for the South Africans who too had Australia on their minds. They too wanted to make an impact, they also wanted every outing of theirs to count. Wayne Parnell tested Iyer with short balls, as was expected and the Mumbai batter didn`t last long. Iyer is in reserves for the World Cup but he needs to quickly get rid of the tag of a batsman who can`t handle bounce. - Sandeep Dwivedi

21:31 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA Live Score Updates: Karthik explodes in powerplay

Parnell will bowl the last over inside the powerplay. Oh my word!! Karthik has gone absolutely ballistic!! 2 sixes and a four from 3 balls. IND 64/3 after 6 overs

Ngidi is being absolutely hammered by Pant. A four off the first ball and a 6 off the 3rd!!! That has got the crowd going. Uffff!! Wonderful straight drive to grab four more. Crsip. Next ball is cut hard and that`s away for a 6!!!! What an over this is turning out to be for India. ANNNDDDD GONE!!!!!! What a catch by Stubbs!!! Pant walks. IND 45/3 after 5 overs

21:20 (IST)04 Oct 2022IND vs SA 3rd T20 Live Score: Karthik on the charge

Parnell to bowl the 4th and that`s a four by Karthik off his 3rd ball. he is looking to hit anything that moves towards him!! Pant survives a run out. IND 25/2 after 4 overs

GONE!!! Huge shout for LBW and the umpire has raised his finger!!! India will review. Looks plumb. And the third umpire tells the onfield umpire to stay with his decision. Parnell gets Iyer. IND 4/2 after 1.4 overs

21:00 (IST)04 Oct 2022India back on death over shot clock after Chahar concedes 24 🤯🫡🤕

They talked up Deepak Chahar after one of the end overs in the last game, as a possible candidate to plug runs in that phase. Rilee Rossouw slammed a six and a four, of full balls in the 16th over. Then Chahar got another go at the final over. 24 runs flooded in as David Miller walloped his length deliveries for two sixes and a high full toss for another one. His first ball was sprayed way wide. India now back to the drawing board, scratching their head to find a bowler good enough for the end overs. They have three ODIs (why are they playing ODIs before a T20 world cup!? England and Pakistan showed the way with a 7-game T20I series) to figure out a pacer who can bowl at the death.
