India (IND) vs South Africa (SA) 5th T20 Live Cricket Score Updates: Suryakumar Yadav’s India will lock horns with Aiden Markram’s South Africa in the fifth of the five-match T20I series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. The hosts have the lead 2-1 in the series, and the previous game at Lucknow got abandoned due to poor weather conditions.

During the second game, when Quinton De Kock slammeda 46-ball 90, they showed the power that lies within their batting line-up and the bowlers later in the evening displayed their skills. At Ahmedabad, where once again they might end up playing good pitch, we might score some big runs.

A dense blanket of fog at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium forced the abandonment of the fourth T20I between India and South Africa, denying fans the highly anticipated “unveiling” of India’s elite bowling quartet—Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, and Varun Chakaravarthy—in the same playing XI for the first time. With India leading the series 2-1, the washout prevented the tactical experiment of pairing two premier pacers with two world-class spinners against the Proteas.
