Visakhapatnam, June 14: The Indian team bounced back with a comprehensive show to hand South Africa a 48-run defeat and keep the five match series alive.

It was about adapting the way they were playing the game. We have certain goals as a bowling group and we want to continue to achieve the goals. It was a must-win game for us so pretty happy with the way it turned out. But Reeza's the guy we back at the top. (Middle over) I don't think it's a good thing, but we will try to improve and whosoever is going in they should finish the game with a big margin. Rishabh Pant, Winning Captain: I had talked about the execution, I thought we were just a little off about the execution in the previous games. (Same Team) I think specially in India when you play the spinners play a big role. Harshal Patel struck on the last ball of the powerplay to remove Reeza Hendricks (23 off 20) and reduce South Africa 38/2 at the end of six overs. I was trying to bowl to my strengths today. Earlier, after being sent in to bat, openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan handed India a flying start. The visitors kept losing wicket as the run rate creeped up. Hardik Pandya's (31 off 21) cameo at the end saw India post 179/5.

Fifties from Gaikwad and Kishan also play a part in hosts' dismantling of South Africa in Vizag.

He swung the ball both ways to deliver two overs for seven runs but was taken off by Pant, who has developed a habit of replacing bowlers who are applying pressure. Bhuvneshwar's squeeze worked - Bavuma was caught at mid-on as he tried to clear the in field off Axar. Hendricks edged Chahal, but the chance didn't carry to slip, before he swung at a Harshal slower ball and was caught at mid-off to end the powerplay on 38 for 2.

Miller's was the simpler of the two, when Hardilk Pandya, on 1, sliced Shamsi on the off side and he only had to hold on, but couldn't. van der Dussen's required running in from deep backward point when Pant, on 4, slashed at a wide Dwaine Pretorius delivery.

Nortje moved his line closer to the stumps for the fifth ball but Gaikwad made room and opened the face of the bat late to steer the ball to short third man. Just when Shamsi may have thought his night wouldn't improve, Shreyas swept again, but didn't keep it down and Nortje timed his jump perfectly at square leg to take the catch.

Gaikwad was given the runs, but later taken away as leg-byes, even as he had to have a concussion test.

Gaikwad and Kishan forged a 97-run stand for the first wicket before the former got out in the 10th over.

Gaikwad and Kishan forged a 97-run stand for the first wicket before the former got out in the 10th over. On the third ball, there was a nasty bounce and movement off the pitch, and got Gaikwad’s glove and helmet. Ruturaj Gaikwad was in fine form on Tuesday during the third T20I between India and South Africa at Visakhapatnam, slamming 57 off 35 balls.

The third boundary was a lucky one as the ball hit his grill while Gaikwad tried to move away from a nasty bouncer. Harshal mixed his deliveries well to first remove Reeza Hendricks (23) and David Miller (3) and then returned to finish things off with the wickets of Kagiso Rabada (9) and Tabraiz Shamsi (0) as South Africa were bundled out for 131. Yuzvendra Chahal (3/20) and Harshal Patel (4/25) led the way with the ball after sizzling half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad (57) and Ishan Kishan (54) powered India to 179 for five.

Pant rolls the ball towards the bowler and Bhuvi runs back to break the stumps and catch Nortje short of his ground. Slower from a short of length, Maharaj shimmies down the track to try and go over mid-off. The ball flies off the outside edge and goes straight down Karthik's throat. It is just adapting to it (the conditions), I went to yorkers early in the last two games, I focused on bowling the hard length today. The batter doesn't quite know where the ball is and turns around to make his ground. This was a slow pitch and not good as Delhi or Cuttack, not quick as the other two grounds. We have certain goals as a bowling group and we want to continue to achieve those goals. We wanted to execute certain plans, but it didn't work out in the last couple of games, it was a must win game to keep the series alive, pretty happy I did it in this game. With the batting, we didn't really turn up. The action shifts to Rajkot. Join us on Friday for the fourth T20I. Until then, goodbye and good night. When you get a good start, it's difficult for a new batter to come in and go big straightaway. The fielding really didn't back us up.

IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Slow bowlers hit back after two expensive games to keep the side alive in the five-match T20I series against South Africa.

In the same over, though, Nortje grazed Gaikwad’s grille with a brutal incutting bouncer, and could have had him caught had short third man been more alert. After India were asked to bat first yet again, Ruturaj Gaikwad came good after a couple of failures for his maiden international half-century. He still found enough nip in the corridor to have Pretorius and van der Dussen caught behind. Axar delivered the wicket of South African skipper Temba Bavuma in his first over, and Chahal, bowling quick, flat and skiddy, sent back Dwaine Pretorius and Rassie van der Dussen.
