Speaking of the third match of the T20I series, the Indian team posted a total of 225 runs for the loss of three wickets in 36 overs. Young opener Shubman Gill scored an amazing inning of 98 runs off 98 balls with seven boundaries and two sixes. Other than him, skipper Dhawan played a half-century knock of 58 runs. Although, Gill missed his century by only two runs due to a rain interruption.
When the hosts came up to chase the target, it was revised to 257 runs in the allotted 35 overs. Defending this total, India bundled the men in maroon only on the score of 137 runs in 26 overs on the backs bowling heroics of Yuzvendra Chahal.
