India vs South Africa 5th T20I: Live streaming, head-to-head, pitch and weather report
India vs South Africa 5th T20I, Live Streaming and TV Telecast Online: India will be taking on South Africa in the fifth T20I in Ahmedabad.
New Delhi: After the abandonment of the fourth T20I at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow due to excessive fog, the Men in Blue will now take on South Africa in the fifth and final match on Friday, December 19.
Team India is leading the five-match series by 2-1 and will look to win it in Ahmedabad to maintain their unbeaten streak in the shortest format. The Men in Blue have not lost a series in the shortest format since they clinched the 2024 T20 World Cup title, winning 26 of their 35 matches.
After winning the Test by 2-0, the Proteas men lost the ODI series 2-1, but have a great opportunity to level the series in Ahmedabad. All-rounder Axar Patel has been ruled out of the series due to illness, while there is no clarity on Shubman Gill's inclusion, as the opening batter has suffered a toe injury before the fourth T20I. If Gill is unavailable, India might include wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson at the top of the order.
Head-to-head record
India and South Africa have played 35 T20I matches against each other. Out of these 35 matches, the Men in Blue have won 20, and the Proteas have emerged victorious in 13 matches, while 2 matches ended in a no result.
