NO RESULT
The game has been abandoned. The series was split 2-2. South Africa keeps their proud record intact - of not having lost a limited-overs series on Indian soil since 2010.

UPDATE!
Play can start by 10:02 PM, but for that the light drizzle also needs to stop first and then only it can be resumed, as informed by the umpires.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Game stopped AGAIN!
Rain spoils the contest again after India lost both their openers. Skipper Pant had just played one ball and now has to wait for the play to resume again.
IND- 28/2 (3.3 Overs), Shreyas 0 (1) & Pant 1 (1)
19 June 2022, 20:01 PM
ANOTHER ONE!
Ruturaj Gaikwad 10 (12) caught by Pretorius bowled Ngidi. Gaikwad was never looking settled tonight, he departs cheaply, beaten by the slower-one. Lungi Ngidi has got the better off both the openers of India.
IND- 27/2 (3.2 Overs)
19 June 2022, 19:42 PM
BOWLED HIM!
HUGE WICKET! Ishan Kishan bowled in by Lungi Ngidi. Keshav Maharaj was attacked in the very first over by Kishan, who smacked him for two consecutive sixes down the leg-side. Proteas calm the nerves down with Lungi Ngidi in the 2nd over.
IND- 20/1 (2 Overs), Gaikwad 3 (5)

Predicted XI for IND vs SA 5TH T20I
India can try and include Umran Malik in the playing XI to spring a suprise on the Proteas. Avesh Khan is the bowler who could make way for him, if Pant and management decide to make this change. Checkout the Probable playing XI HERE.
