India are favorites to win
The final match of the IT20 series between India and South Africa takes place in Bangalore at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday evening. India were dominant in Friday’s fourth IT20 in Rajkot, coming away with an 82 run victory to level the series at 2-2. Read on as we preview this decisive evening fixture. The fifth IT20 begins at 19:00 local time.
India have won the last two games by margins of 48 and 82 runs. The team has produced stronger performances as the series has progressed and they look to be in very strong form.
South Africa were bowled out for 131 in the final over on Tuesday but were dismissed for only 87 from 16.5 overs on Friday. Their batting is a concern and they must improve in this discipline if they are to compete in this game.
This match will be shown live on Star Sports in India, Sky Sports in the UK, Fox Cricket in Australia and Siyatha TV in Sri Lanka.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney Plus and Sky Go.
Each time the toss winning captain in this series has been Temba Bavuma and he has chosen to field first in all four games. It would be a big surprise if either captain wins the toss and chooses to bat first.
This is the first time this ground has been used for an IT20 since South Africa beat India by 9 wickets in September 2019. We expect a par score to be over 160 on this surface which will have some pace in it.
There is a reasonable chance of rain during the first scheduled hour of the game. After that the temperature will be in the low 20s with high humidity.

The home side played the same XI for the fourth consecutive game in the series which meant that Avesh Khan retained his place after three wicketless appearances. Khan responded with 4-18 and it would be a big surprise if India made any changes ahead of this final match.
India will be very pleased with their progression and development as a side in this series. Even without some of their most experienced players, they are still targeting a third successive win.
Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal
There were three changes for South Africa ahead of the fourth game. Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell were both injured with Reeza Hendricks dropped. In their place came Quinton de Kock, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen. Temba Bavuma injured his elbow in Rajkot but we expect him to play in this match.
Momentum is such a key part of T20 cricket and South Africa no longer have it or form. They have lost successive IT20s for the first time since June last year.
Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, Heinrich Klassen (wk), Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi, Keshav Maharaj
India notched up their 11th victory over South Africa in this format on Friday. The home side have never beaten South Africa in three successive IT20s.

The bookies have the home side as favourites to win this final IT20 of the series and complete a fine turnaround from when they were 2-0 down.
Only three players have hit more than 100 runs so far in the series. Ishan Kishan is the leading run scorer by 73 runs ahead of this final IT20.
Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer are our batting tips for India. Iyer has scored six half-centuries in this format.
Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen and Dwaine Pretorius are our batting recommendations for South Africa. van der Dussen has a top score of 75 not out in this series.
We are backing Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the ball for India. Kumar is averaging 14.16 for his six wickets in the series so far.
Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje and Keshav Maharaj are our bowling tips for South Africa. Maharaj has taken one wicket in each game in the series.
India’s performance levels have increased as the series has progressed with South Africa’s going in the opposite direction. As a result, it will be very hard for South Africa to regain the initiative ahead of this match. We are predicting a close game than on Friday but another win for India.
