Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh was named Player of the Match as India beat South Africa by seven wickets at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala in the third T20I of the five-match series. He claimed 2-13 in his four overs to make a terrific comeback after registering poor figures of 0-54 from his four overs in the previous match of the series in Mullanpur.
In Dharamsala, Arshdeep struck in the first over of the game, trapping Reeza Hendricks (0) leg before with a terrific inswinger that caught the batter off guard.
