Your daily dose of cricket!

Both teams will look to give their all as the upcoming match will be decisive with India leading 2-1 after four matches.

The visitors, South Africa, will be under a bit more pressure compared to the home team as it is a do-or-die game for them and a loss in it would result in losing the series.

When talking about the type of surface that is expected to be provided at this location for the match in question, it depends on the color of the surface.

If the pitch provided contains red soil, then it is good to bat with a good bounce in it, on which the batters can rely and play their shots from the first ball.

The bowlers can also use the bounce to their advantage, provided they throw the ball in the right areas.

If the curator decides to hand out a Black Earth wicket, it will tip the balance somewhat in favor of the bowlers, especially the spinners.

The reason for the shift is said to be the lack of resilience of the pitch, and the batters will have to play in a more traditional manner.

The scores at first batting will also vary depending on the surface, with 210-220 being a winning score on a red soil wicket, while 180-190 may prove sufficient on a black soil wicket.

That said, there may be a case where a third type of field with a mixture of red and black soil can be used for the decider.

If this continues, it will see a good battle between bat and ball as both batters and bowlers have an equal chance to have their say in the game.

Conclusion

India would look to maintain their good record in T20I cricket when they take on South Africa in the fifth and final match of the ongoing series, having not lost a series since the said period.

As for South Africa, the visitors would also want to win the match and level the series, having lost two and won one match so far.
