IND vs SA LIVE: Follow 5th T20I Clash Updates

Following the abandoned game in Lucknow, the Indian Cricket Team and the South African Cricket Team (IND vs SA) are all set for the climax of the ongoing T20I series, scheduled for Friday, December 19. Both sides will battle at Narendra Modi International Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad in the fifth T20I.

The encounter will be a do-or-die game for both sides. While Suryakumar Yadav & Co. need to win the encounter to win the series, South Africa can make a comeback to level the series by winning the clash.

India lead the five-match series 2-1 after four games. The Men in Blue clinched a victory in the opening game by 101 runs, while the Proteas made a comeback by winning the next clash by 51 runs.

In the third game, the hosts grabbed a victory by seven wickets like a walk in the park. The fourth game in Lucknow was abandoned due to foggy weather.

For India, Axar Patel has been ruled out of the series. Shubman Gill has sustained a foot injury and is doubtful to be part of the next encounter. Jasprit Bumrah missed the third game due to personal reasons, and it remains to be seen if he will return for the last game.
