South Africa v India: Hosts complete ODI series clean sweep in Cape Town

South Africa won a thrilling third one-day international against India by four runs to seal a series clean sweep.

Quinton de Kock made 124 as South Africa were bowled out for 287 with the penultimate ball of their innings.

India were going well at 116-1 in reply, but Andile Phehlukwayo removed both Shikhar Dhawan and Rishbah Pant in the 23rd over to claw them back.

Virat Kohli fell eight overs later for 65, before India were bowled out for 283 with four balls left.

Phehlukwayo, who took 3-40, broke the partnership when he had Dhawan caught and that allowed South Africa to squeeze.

Shreyas Iyer (26), Suryakumar Yadav (39) and Deepak Chahar (54) made contributions but when Chahar was out after 47.1 overs, India lost their final three wickets for five runs.

Stand-in captain KL Rahul said: «It's quite obvious where we've gone wrong and it's for everyone to see, our shot selection has been really poor as batsmen and our bowlers weren't hitting the good areas consistently.

»We need to look at ourselves in the mirror and have some hard conversations."

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said: «The complacency got to us when we thought we had the game in the bag but we managed to bring things back — it was a little bit crazy.
