Ruturaj Gaikwad, who came out to bat at number three, could not make a big score, but the batsmen who came after him did not disappoint. Samson, who failed in the second ODI, added 69 runs for the third wicket with Gill. Samson scored 51 runs in just 41 balls with two fours and four sixes, although he returned to the pavilion after completing his half-century.

Samson justified his selection by scoring a half-century, although Suryakumar could only manage 35 runs off 30 balls with two fours and two sixes. Gill was inching towards a hundred but Gudakesh Moti, with his leg-spin, bowled him over long-on and was eventually caught out for 86. Gill hit 11 fours in his 92-ball innings.
