India vs South Africa Score Highlights: IND beat SA by 11 runs in run fest

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: India have had to deal with a long tail in this series. In the first T20I, they seemed set to score in excess of 220 but couldn't do much to back up Sanju Samson's century in the death overs. In the second, Hardik Pandya was left to do the heavy lifting in difficult batting conditions in the death overs with all the other recognised batters back in the hut.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Varun Chakaravarthy's hauls of 3 for 25 and 5 for 17 - consecutive career-bests - make him the most dangerous bowler in the series, and he will be a handful again despite the different conditions. He had been in the wilderness after the 2021 T20 World Cup but has arguably become India's most potent spinner since his return.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Abhishek Sharma led the way in Sunrisers Hyderabad's mission to capture the world's imagination in the last IPL. He then announced himself in international cricket with a 47-ball 100 against Zimbabwe in only his second T20I appearance. Since then however, the run machine in him has not quite got going. Abhishek has been able to score just 70 runs in the rest of his T20I appearances.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Centurion has established itself as arguably the highest-scoring venue in South Africa this decade. However, the steep bounce could also bring fast bowlers into play if there's a little bit of help from the surface.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Heinrich Klaasen has been dismissed for a 22-ball 25 and for two in this series while David Miller has fallen on 14 and a golden duck. Both players have been dismissed in both matches by Varun Chakravarthy.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Arshdeep is already level with Jasprit Bumrah's career T20I tally of 89 wickets. While Bumrah has taken 70 matches to get there, Arshdeep has done it in 58. He is one wicket away from equalling Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the second-highest wicket-taker of all time in the format for India. The record for most wickets is currently held by Yuzvendra Chahal at 96.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Arshdeep Singh made his T20I debut in July 2022 and in the two years since, he has already stacked up a whopping 89 wickets in just 58 matches. No one has taken more wickets than him in this period in T20Is.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Centurion hosted two ridiculously high-scoring thrillers in the space of two days last year. South Africa smashed 131 runs in just 11 overs in a rain-curtailed match in the first one and the West Indies went on to chase that down with three balls to spare. Johnson Charles' 46-ball 118 then helped the West Indies post a mammoth 258/5 in the second match but Quinton de Kock led the way as South Africa broke the record for highest succesfull T20I run chase. De Kock smashed 100 in 44 balls while Reeza Hendricks made 68 in 28 in a stunning opening stand of 152 runs in just 10.5 overs and South Africa chased the target down with more than an over to spare.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Varun Chakravarthy has already taken eight wickets in the first two matches of this series. He now has the chance of going past the Indian record of most wickets in a bilateral T20I series of nine, held jointly by R Ashwin and Bishnoi.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi have been the bane of the South African batters in this series. South Africa have faced 16 overs from India's two wristspinners, and scored 91 while losing 12 wickets. Chakravarthy has taken eight wickets at an average of 5.25 while Bishnoi has taken four wickets at an average of 12.25.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Consistency has been an Achilles hell for Sanju Samson in his long and topsy-turvy international career. And there was arguably no better demonstration of that than in Gqeberha for the second T20I where he was out for a duck, right after becoming the first Indian batter to score centuries in consecutive T20Is.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: It has rained intermittently here in the last two days. Now weather is not expected to curtail the match in any way today but it has certainly done an interesting thing or two with the conditions.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram(c), Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen(w), David Miller, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter, Patrick Kruger, Mihlali Mpongwana, Donovan Ferreira, Ottneil Baartman, Lutho Sipamla

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy, Avesh Khan, Jitesh Sharma, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Ramandeep Singh, Yash Dayal

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: South Africa were trounced in the first T20I but they came back strong to win the second T20I. It all sets up the second half of this four-match series nicely. Stay tuned for more updates!
