South Africa batted first in the contest after losing the toss and got all out for 270 in 47.5 overs. Opener Quinton de Kock (106) starred for them in the batting department, smashing his 23rd ODI century. Temba Bavuma (48) and Dewald Brevis (29) supported him a bit in the middle order. Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna scalped four wickets apiece for India with the ball.

It was one-way traffic in the second innings as Yashasvi Jaiswal (116*), Rohit Sharma (75), and Virat Kohli (65*) played brilliantly to help the hosts coast to 271/1 in 39.5 overs and seal a dominant victory.

Kudos to India for batting really well: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma after losing 3rd ODI

Speaking at the post-match presentation, South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma reflected on the loss, saying:

"We wanted to make it a lot more exciting today. From a batting point of view, we did not have enough runs. As we have seen through the series, it tends to get easier for batting under the lights. We could have been better with the ball in the first 10 overs. Kudos to India for batting really well. We could have been a lot more smarter with the bat. In the first two ODIs, whenever the spinners have come on, we have looked to take them on."

He continued:

"You never want to get bowled out within the 50 overs. We have some young faces in our team. We always talk about how we want to play — we want to take the attack to the opposition. India is a quality opposition. If there are 10 boxes, I'd say we have ticked 6 of those."

The five-match T20I series between the two teams will commence on Tuesday (December 9) in Cuttack.
