3rd T20I: India, South Africa set for final showdown in Cape Town

 
India and South Africa will battle it out in the series-deciding third and final Twenty20 International (T20I) at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday. In the first game, a brilliant all-round show helped visitors beat hosts South Africa by 28 runs at Johannesburg. In the second game, South Africa, who lost the One-Day International (ODI) series 1-5, kept the T20I series alive by registering a six-wicket victory at Centurion. The second match was a show of respective batting resolves by both sides, especially of their middle-order batsmen. While Manish Pandey (79 not out off 48) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (52 not out off 28) responded for India, the hosts had to thank Heinrich Klaasen (69 off 30) and Jean-Paul Duminy (64 not out off 40) as they overhauled the target of 189 with six wickets and 1.2 overs to spare.
