India have been impressive throughout the tour, winning the ODI series 2-1 and now they have the opportunity to seal the T20I series as well. So far in the shortest format of the game, India won the first two T20 games convincingly, by seven and nine wickets.
But a five-wicket loss in the third match kept the series alive for South Africa.
