IND Win By 7 Wickets | India vs South Africa Highlights of 3rd T20I 2025: Bowlers, Abhishek Sharma Power Hosts to Comfortable Victory

That's it! In the end, it was a comfortable victory for India and that too by seven wickets. Bowlers did all the hard work as they completely tightened their grip on South Africa, bowling them out for 117 runs. Everyone who came to the attack contributed. Chasing it, Abhishek Sharma broke the game early and then the others made sure India crossed the finishing line. 

Out! Cleaned up. Shubman Gill didn't look in control throughout the entire innings and it finally resulted in his dismissal. Marco Jansen was troubling him and his attempt to guide one of his length deliveries took an inside edge to deflect on his stumps. Gill would be disappointed as he was looking to finish the game. Gill b Marco Jansen 28(28). 

India have slowed down since the dismissal of Abhishek Sharma and they don't need to pick up the pace. Shubman Gill has been anchoring the innings and taking India nearer to victory. South Africa have bowled well but to little or no success at all. 

Out! Abhishek Sharma departs after playing an impact knock. Charged at the South Africa bowlers and got out a big chunk of runs by nailing a few boundaries. Gave India the start they needed and this time miscued a shot against Corbin Bosch and got holed out in the deep. India are on track to secure a victory. Abhishek Sharma c Markram b Corbin Bosch 35(18).

India are coupling up their bowling performance with their batting as they have come out smashing through their openers chasing a low total. Abhishek Sharma has taken on the South African bowling attack like he does, buying boundaries while at the same time Shubman Gill showed signs of getting back to touch. South Africa are looking down the barrel here. 

Out! A solid outing from India in the bowl. They have improved on every aspect they missed out on in the last game. Harshit Rana broke the game from the top with new ball wickets and every other bowler helped India control the middle overs and chip in with regular dismissals. Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav clean up the tail and wrap up the South African innings for just 117 runs. They will back themselves to chase down this total. Ottneil Baartman c Suryakumar Yadav b Kuldeep Yadav 1(2) and  Nortje st Jitesh Sharma b Kuldeep Yadav 12(12).

Out! Varun Chakaravarthy joins the party and India refuse to loosen their grip on the throat of South Africa. Donovan Ferreira was launching a counter-attack against the bowling of India and picked up a few boundaries. But Varun Chakaravarthy puts a stop to it by cleaning him up. He doubled it down by dismissing Marco Jansen in his next over putting South Africa into further trouble. Ferreira b Varun Chakaravarthy 20(15) and Marco Jansen b Varun Chakaravarthy 2(7).

Out! Shivam Dube strikes in his first ball. Captain Suryakumar Yadav moves towards another seamer for impact and he delivers first ball. Gets a ball seam in and Corbin Bosch who was making room to access the offside gets cleaned up. South Africa struggle to get going. Corbin Bosch b Shivam Dube 4(9).

Out! The surface at Dharamsala has been challenging as it has offered consistent seam movement to the bowlers. Hardik Pandya gets some purchase in his first over and the ball moves away with bounce taking a nick of Tristan Stubbs' bat and goes to the hands of the wicketkeeper. India keep chipping in with wickets and South Africa is in a lot of trouble. Stubbs c Jitesh Sharma b Hardik Pandya 9(13).

Out! South Africa in trouble and it is Harshit Rana who is making them struggle. Length ball seams in, Dewald Brevis anticipates it as a fuller one, throws his hands at it, but doesn't get enough. The ball takes an inside edge to crash on his stumps. India have powered themselves ahead in the game here. Brevis b Harshit Rana 2(7).
