Fortuin gets Kishan caught behind by de Kock. India, 58/2.
50 up for India and they 47 to win in the next 40 overs. Shouldn't be tough, that. 53/1.
South Africa bag their first wicket. Shikhar Dhawan run out. A quick throw from the covers and one might question if Dhawan was a tad slow in getting back to the crease. India, 42/1 after seven overs.
Gill has picked up Marco Jansen from the first over today. Not much of assistance for the pacer on this surface. Tries to bounce it but Gill gets a hold of it to get a boundary wide of covers. Follows it with pounce on the leg side. India, 35/0 after five overs.
Fine couple of shots from Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill. The Indian skipper drives Ngidi past cover for four in the second over. Gill finds the cue end of his bat to find the gap in the cordon region and procure another boundary off Jansen. India, 18/0 after three overs.

Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill take centre stage. This should be pretty straightforward for the hosts to finish the home season. Marco Jansen with the ball. Here we go, one last time this series.
Wow, this was quick. SA bowled out for 99, their lowest total in ODI cricket vs India. Four wickets for Kuldeep Yadav. Couple of wickets for Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj and Shahbaz Ahmed.
Kuldeep Yadav with a maiden and two wickets in the 26th over!
Gets Fortuin wrapped around the pads and cleans up Nortje. 94/9.
Kuldeep gets his second wicket. Fortuin gone for 1. A floaty leg break on a fuller length on the off-stump. Fortuin strides forward and tries to turn it on the leg side. Gets hit on the pads. Huge appeal and given out. Fortuin doesn't review either, as he knows that is plumb!
Shahbaz cleans up Klassen. Good bowling from Shahbaz, a subtle change in the trajectory. Klaasen stays leg side of it and tries to punch it off the back foot. A slight spin away is enough to beat the outside edge of Klaasen's punch, and the ball hits the middle stump. (SA: 94/7)
Tad short from Shahbaz, Klassen leans back and cuts it past the backward point for a boundary.
STAND AND DELIVER! Flights it fuller around the off. Jansen charges down the pitch and reaches to the pitch of it. Connects the swing through the line well and it goes high and handsome well over the head of the bowler for a six. A much-needed boundary for South Africa. (SA: 87/6)
Now Kuldeep gets into the act. He gets a wicket in his very first over. Andile Phehlukwayo departs for 5. Andile goes on the backfoot as he makes room to cut it through the off side but misses completely on this occasion and the ball disturbs the timbers in a flash. (SA: 73/6)
Sundar cleans up Proteas skipper David Miller with a beauty. Miller looks to defend but gets hit on the pads and the ball disturbs the timber after sneaking in the gap between the bat and pad. Half of the South African side are back in the hut with just 66 on the board.
Sundar was greeted with a boundary by Klaasen. The placement is immaculate. Flatter, turns back into the batter. Klaasen makes room and flays it nicely, away from the diving cover fielder towards the boundary fence in no time.
Good innovation from Proteas skipper David Miller! Full on the off stump line, Miller quickly comes into the position and scoops it over the keeper towards the long stop region for a boundary.
