IND vs SA 5th T20I

The 5th T20I between India and South Africa is scheduled to take place on Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. India recovered well from their second T20I setback by registering a dominant seven-wicket victory in the third match to take a 2-1 advantage in the series. The fourth contest was cancelled due to heavy fog, allowing the hosts to still win the final match at this venue. 

As the series heads towards the decider, Markram and Quinton de Kock are expected to set the tone at the top again. Once bowlers begin testing their discipline and patience, the pair will need to balance early intent with composure.
