IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 5th, India vs South Africa T20I series 2025

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 5th T20I of the India vs South Africa T20I series 2025 between IND vs SA to be played in Ahmedabad.

The fourth T20I was possibly the first-ever instance of a game getting called off due to excessive fog. That means India now have a 2-1 unassailable lead, and they can’t lose the series now. The final T20I is set to be played at Narendra Modi Stadium.

This contest will commence at 7 PM IST on December 19. Both teams would be unhappy with the way the last game was ended because there are not many games left to play ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026.

Shubman Gill was unfit in Lucknow, but he will be eager to get fit and play the final game at one of his favourite cricket venues of his career so far. It will be icing on the cake if he gets back to form.

For South Africa, this is also a crucial game because they will play their first match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at this same venue against Canada.

IND vs SA: Pitch Report

Narendra Modi Stadium is considered a batting-friendly venue. It offers a flat deck and a fast outfield. The bounce is good here, and the ball comes nicely onto the bat. Fast bowlers will get early swing, and spinners will get slow turn in the latter stages of the game. But it is an excellent venue to chase.
