IND vs SA Match Prediction 4th T20I: India bounced back from the forgetful night in Mullanpur in the second T20I to secure an emphatic seven-wicket triumph in the third T20I in Dharamsala that took them to a 2-1 lead in the IND vs SA T20I series with two games to go. And that was despite the absence of two key first-choice players.
While they have gained criticism in recent times for different reasons, captain Suryakumar Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir are on the brink of winning yet another T20I series. Under the Suryakumar-Gambhir leadership combination, India have won all its T20I series so far, beginning from July 2024.
The hosts could seal the series in the fourth T20I on Wednesday in Lucknow, while for the visitors the aim will be to level this series and stretch it to a decider.
India vs South Africa 4th T20I team news:
Axar Patel has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20I series after missing the previous match due to illness. Shahbaz Ahmed has been added to the squad but is unlikely to play in Lucknow.
Jasprit Bumrah was unavailable for the Dharamsala T20I as he returned home due to personal reasons, and there is no update yet on the fast bowler. So it can be assumed that he will miss the fourth T20I.
India are likely to continue with the same XI that won the third T20I.
South Africa surprisingly made three changes in Dharamsala despite winning in Mullanpur. Expect a few changes in the Proteas’ side for this match as well. One or both of Keshav Maharaj and George Linde could feature in Lucknow because of the nature of the pitch. David Miller may return.
