India beat South Africa by seven wickets in third T20I

Dharamsala, Dec 14 (UNI) India completed a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over South Africa in the third T20 International here on Sunday, riding on a sharp bowling display followed by an aggressive top-order batting effort.
After opting to bowl first at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium, India struck early through Arshdeep Singh, who trapped Reeza Hendricks leg before for a duck in the opening over. Harshit Rana then removed Quinton de Kock and Donovan Brevis during the powerplay as South Africa slipped into early trouble. Aiden Markram waged a lone battle, scoring a well-made 61 off 46 balls with six fours and two sixes, but received little support.
Hardik Pandya dismissed Tristan Stubbs caught behind to claim his 100th wicket in T20 Internationals, while Varun Chakaravarthy bowled Marco Jansen and later accounted for Ferreira. Kuldeep Yadav polished off the lower order, having Ottneil Baartman caught by captain Suryakumar Yadav at extra-cover and stumping Anrich Nortje. Arshdeep returned to remove Markram, who edged behind while attempting to accelerate, as South Africa were bowled out for 117 in 20 overs.
