IND vs SA 3rd T20I Highlights: India win by 106 runs to level the T20 series 1-1 against South Africa

A short three-match, rather two-match T20 series between India and South Africa came to an end in Johannesburg Highveld with the visitors completing a comfortable 106-run victory to level it 1-1. South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and chose to field yet again and had India two down early again but the third wicket partnership of 112 runs helped the Men in Blue not just come back into the match but also started dominating it. Surya smashed his 4th T20I century while Jaiswal scored 60 as India got to 201, which proved to be too much for the hosts. It started with a maiden over and South Africa kept losing wickets regularly with Kuldeep Yadav cleaning up the tail to end up with yet another five-wicket haul in T20Is, his second. Surya, who scored 56 and 100 was named the player of the match and series.

    IND vs SA toss: What should the captain winning the toss decide?

    It's a tricky one, which applies to all the great batting venues - should you bat first and utilise the good batting conditions and bat the opposition out of the game or choose to bowl since it's a venue where defending is hard? It's tough but looking at history and the second game, chasing is the most likely option.
