India vs South Africa 4th T20: Date, Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, and pitch report

India won the first and third T20Is courtesy of centuries from Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma respective while South Africa edged past the visitors by 3 wickets in the second match thanks to Tristan Stubbs gritty innings despite Varun Chakaravarthy taking 5 wickets.

Here’s a look at all the details

India predicted XI: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Ravi Bishnoi

Player to watch out for: All eyes will be on Tilak Varma who scored his maiden T20I century in the 3rd match after he was promoted to No.3 in place of skipper Suryakumar Yadav and he took his opportunity with both hands. The Mumbai Indians batter is slowly coming into his own and turning himself into a reliable hand in helping India rebuild their innings after early wickets.

South Africa predicted XI: Aiden Markram (c), Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Patrick Kruger, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Lutho Sipamla

Player to watch out for: After two matches where he could not score in double digits, Heinrich Klaasen finally looked to find a semblance of form in the third match scoring a whirlwind 41 off 2 deliveries, even hitting Varun for three sixes in one over. If he builds on from that match, the 4th match might be South Africa’s chance to get something out of the series.
