India vs South Africa 5th T20 Playing 11, match timings, live streaming

India will look to end a demanding home season on a positive note when they face South Africa in the fifth and final T20 International on Friday, December 19. After suffering a 0-2 defeat in the Test series, India bounced back strongly to win the ODI leg and now hold an unassailable 2-1 lead in the T20Is following the rain-abandoned fourth match in Lucknow.

 

While the series result is secure, concerns remain around form and fitness. Captain Suryakumar Yadav continues to struggle for runs, with his prolonged lean patch raising questions ahead of the T20 World Cup. Vice-captain Shubman Gill is set to miss the final match due to a toe injury, opening the door for Sanju Samson to return to his preferred top-order role.

 

India’s bowling has been a positive, with Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy impressing. South Africa, meanwhile, will aim to draw the series and end the tour on a high.
