Dharamsala, Dec. 14 -- India completed a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over South Africa in the third T20 International here on Sunday, riding on a sharp bowling display followed by an aggressive top-order batting effort.

After opting to bowl first at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium, India struck early through Arshdeep Singh, who trapped Reeza Hendricks leg before for a duck in the opening over. Harshit Rana then removed Quinton de Kock and Donovan Brevis during the powerplay as South Africa slipped into early trouble. Aiden Markram waged a lone battle, scoring a well-made 61 off 46 balls with six fours and two sixes, but received little support.
