IND vs SA 5th T20I: Predicted playing 11, toss timing and latest team news

India vs South Africa 5th T20I: Get latest Playing 11 predictions, toss Updates, and team news from the fifth and final match of the five-match series, being held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

South Africa have experimented a lot with their playing 11 in this series and have not played the same 11 in even a single game. In the fifth and final match of the series, which is also the decider with the series at 2-2, they must make changes in their Playing 11 as well and bring back Wayne Parnell and Kagiso Rabada or at least one of them to try and put pressure on the Indian batters, especially at the death. 

With the series at 2-2, India would hope that they are able to pull off a comeback victory with the same eleven who were beaten straight up in the first two games. 

Here's how the Playing 11 of India and South Africa would look like

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.
