South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss on Tuesday and chose to bat first in the third T20I of the five-match series against India.
The match at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam is a must-win for India, who trail the series 2-0 at home.
India defeated Bangladesh by eight wickets in the previous game on this ground. After winning the toss, the Men in Blue elected to bowl first. Yuzvendra Chahal’s 2/28 helped the Indian team limit their opponents to 153/6 in 20 overs.
The Men in Blue will need to work as a cohesive unit and be consistent with both bat and ball. South Africa, on the other hand, will be hoping to win this match and complete the series.
