India vs South Africa Live Score, 3rd ODI: Chasing 297, South Africa are currently building momentum in the third ODI of their three-match series against India, in Paarl on Thursday. Tony de Zorzi and Rassie van der Dussen are currently batting for the hosts and trying to build a strong partnership. Initially, de Zorzi and his opening Reeze Hendricks gave the Proteas a strong start, but Hendricks fell to Arshdeep Singh, departing for 19 off 24 balls.
India vs South Africa, 3rd ODI, Live Score and Latest Updates(AP)Initially, a ton from Sanju Samson saw India post 296/8 in 50 overs as the Rajasthan Royals captain hammered 108 off 114 balls, packed with six fours and three sixes. Meanwhile, Tilak Varma got a crucial half-century for India, slamming 52 off 77 deliveries. For South Africa's bowling department, Beuran Hendricks took three wickets and Nandre Burger scalped two dismissals.
This series have been all about young players trying to make a mark. In the first game, Arshdeep Singh opened his account in ODI cricket with a five-wicket haul. In the second, South Africa opener Tony de Zorzi smashed an unbeaten 119 off 122 to lead South Africa to victory. While the next ODI World Cup may not really be at the forefront of most minds, there is a T20 World Cup coming up next year and a Champions Trophy after that. All of these games would be seen as auditions for those two tournaments, even if one of them belong in a different format.
While the second ODI flew under the radar a bit due to the IPL auction, it won't be the case this time and with the series on the line, the eyeballs on this match will be much higher. Chances of India changing their squad remains low, as is usually the case. While they gave Rinku Singh an ODI debut in the second match, they could be tempted to give Rajat Patidar a go in the third.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 3rd ODI: Samson talks
India vs South Africa Live Score, 3rd ODI: “Feels really emotional, going through the emotions now. Very happy to achieve this. Have been putting in a lot of work physically and mentally, happy to see the results go my way now. They bowled really well with the new ball, and the older ball was getting slower and more difficult to bat. So after KL got out, they had the momentum where Maharaj was bowling very well. But me and Tilak stuck it out and went strong at the end. We were playing an extra all rounder today, so me and Tilak had decided that we have to go hard from the 40th over onwards,” he says on Star Sports
