6 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Prasidh Krishna took four wickets, including De Kock's, in the third ODI.
- Quinton de Kock scored a century but couldn't lead South Africa to victory.
- India aims to easily chase 271 with dew expected on the pitch.
India's pace bowler Prasidh Krishna was instrumental in the third One Day International against South Africa, securing four wickets. His fiery delivery at 141 kph uprooted Quinton de Kock's stumps, breaking a vital partnership after De Kock had reached his century. This pivotal moment contributed to restricting South Africa to a total of 270 runs.
Despite individual performances like De Kock's 106 and contributions from Temba Bavuma and others, South Africa lost wickets in clusters. Kuldeep Yadav also performed exceptionally, taking four wickets. Winning the toss for the first time in 21 matches, India opted to bowl, setting up a favorable chase for the home side.
With dew anticipated to play a significant role, India is positioned to comfortably pursue the target of 271. The team will also look to Virat Kohli, who has been in exceptional form, having scored centuries in the preceding two matches of the series.
