IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: Rain getting persistent

 

Seems like the rain is getting heavier with time and it is going to get difficult with each passing minute of rain for groundstaff to work their magic and try and make the field available for play as soon as possible. At this rate, the match is going to get shortened without any doubt.

IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: Rain stops play, India are 28/2 in 3.3 Overs

 

Lungi Ngidi is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Gaikwad runs down the ground and plays this over the infield for two runs 

 

Ball 2  Wicket!! In the air…and gone!! The change of pace from Ngidi has doen the trick once again as Gaikwad, trying to hit the ball over mid-on, gets his handle turned in his hand and the ball goes only as far as Pretorious at mid-on 

 

Ball 3 On the pads and worked away by India skipper Rishabh Pant for a single to open his account 

 

And it has started to rain again and the covers are coming on. It is not raining heavily, so hopefully, we will have a game at our hands, sooner than later. But for now, the players have been asked to move back to dugouts and the ground is being covered entirely.

Ball 1 Dot ball first-up from Rabada as he bowls it on length and Gaikwad pushes at it to mid-on for no runs 

 

Ball 2  Dot again as Gaikwad plays it on the on-side for no runs yet again 

 

Ball 3 Oh!! That would have been another wicket for South Africa as Gaikwad went for a big shot without coming in line with the ball and the ball just missed the stumps by a bit 

 

Ball 4 Four!! This time the Indian batter did come in line with the ball and pulled the short of length one for a four to deep mid-wicket 

 

Ball 5 Gaikwad guided this one to third-man for a single. Smart cricket by the Indian opener

 

Ball 6 Close call, but ultimately a single is denied

Ball 5 Single down the leg side by Gaikwad

Ball 6 Wicket!! Bowled him!! Ngidi has absolutely castled Ishan Kishan here as the dipping slower ball, or the floater, just dipped and forced Kishan to play at it and miss it at the same time

IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: Bengaluru weather may play spoilsport

 

For the first time in this entire series, the players will get a rebate from heat as Bengaluru is going to be heavenly in comparison to the weather that the South Africans have had to face so far. However, there are great chances of rainfall and it might be a shortened match after all as the weather forecast predicts a heavy shower at 07:00 pm.

 

So even if the super soppers do their magic and the pitch is dried, the 99% cloud cover means that it will take at least 08:30 for the game to begin and therefore a shortened match will be in the offing.

IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: Pitch Report

 

The M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru is known for its high-scoring games because of its short boundaries. Out of the eight T20Is that have been played here, five have been won by teams chasing. The pitch usually offers some grip to spinners, but because the boundaries are short, batters usually take on the spinners even when turn and grip are available.

 

5:57 PM

IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: South Africa Predicted Playing 11

 

Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock, Dwaine Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi

 

5:57 PM

5:56 PM

IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: Possible playing 11s of India and South Africa

 

Since India have played with the same eleven throughout the series, therefore it would be very surprising if they change it in the all-important and series-deciding fifth game. Hence, India would most probably go with the same playing 11.

 

On the other hand, Kagiso Rabada was ruled out of the fourth T20I and Wayne Parnell, who looked in good nick in all the three games that he played, was also not part of the playing 11 in the fourth game. Marco Jansen, who played in place of Parnell couldn’t really make any impact so w might see both Rabada and Parnell back in the Proteas playing 11.

IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: South Africa aim to keep the streak alive

 

South Africa, on the other hand, lost track completely as one after the other they dished out two significantly below-average batting performances and in fact, registered their lowest total ever in the fourth T20I at Rajkot. Thus, the pressure is on Temba Bavuma’s unit to recover well and show that the first two wins were no fluke shots and that they are one of the most challenging oppositions going around the world.
