India and South Africa will square off in the third and final ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. After losing the first game by 9 runs in Lucknow, Team India made a strong comeback in the third ODI, courtesy some fine knocks from Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, to beat the Proteas.

India's stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan received a bonus at the time of the toss as his South African counterpart, Keshav Maharaj, opted to bat first after winning the coin toss.

India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI: Indian bowlers didn't give us any freebies, says Aiden Markram

Markram (79) and Reeza Hendricks (74) shared 129 runs for the third wicket, but South Africa lost four wickets for 63 runs in the back-end to settle for 278 for 7, a target India chased down with seven wickets in hand, here on Sunday. "They (India) bowled well, they did not give us any freebies. Whenever a team goes bang-bang, the fielding team all of a sudden gets that momentum in their corner.
