IND vs SA 5th T20 live streaming: Where to watch today's cricket match?

The live telecast for the 5th T20 between India and South Africa will be available on Star Sports Network in India

It turned out to be another batter-friendly outing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as India made full use of ideal conditions to post a commanding 231 for 5 in the fifth T20 International against South Africa. Asked to bat first, the hosts produced a dominant batting display, combining a brisk start at the top with explosive hitting through the middle and death overs. South Africa now face a steep challenge, needing 232 runs in 20 overs to win the match and draw the series 2-2.

 

After winning the toss, South Africa opted to bowl, but India’s openers made them pay early. Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson set the tone with an aggressive opening stand of 63 runs in just 5.4 overs. Abhishek was the first to depart, edging Corbin Bosch behind for a quick 34.

 

 

Samson continued the momentum briefly but failed to convert his start, falling for 37 to George Linde. India then suffered a minor setback as captain Suryakumar Yadav’s lean run continued, with the right-hander dismissed for 5 by Bosch.

 

Tilak Varma, batting at No. 3, held the innings together while maintaining the scoring rate. The left-hander brought up his seventh T20I half-century off just 30 balls, keeping the pressure firmly on the South African attack.

 

Hardik Pandya then produced a stunning late assault. The all-rounder smashed a 15-ball fifty — the second-fastest by an Indian in T20Is — and went on to score 63 off 25 balls. His 105-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Tilak turned the game decisively in India’s favour before Hardik was dismissed by Ottneil Baartman.

 

Tilak remained unbeaten on 73, while Shivam Dube chipped in with an unbeaten 10 as India closed their innings on a formidable 231 for 5.

The toss for the match went in South Africa's way who opted to bowl first.  Captain's take after the toss:  Suryakumar Yadav (IND):  We were looking to bat first. The wicket looks good, there won't be dew and we want to put the runs on the board. It almost feels full. Let's see what we want from this game, yes the series is on the line, but it is about expressing yourself and enjoying the game. Bumrah comes in for Harshit, Washi comes in for Kuldeep and Gill picked up a niggle in Lucknow, so Sanju comes in.  Aiden Markram (SA): We are going to bowl first. The wicket looks quite dew, probably some dew later on and ball comes on better. There's everything to play for, focus is on the World Cup and we have quite a few games here. Quite a few good signs with the ball in hand, looking to finish the tour on a positive note. Linde comes in for Nortje.  India vs South Africa 5th T20 playing 11:  India's playing 11 vs South Africa: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma(w), Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh  South Africa's playing 11 vs India: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram(c), Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Donovan Ferreira, George Linde, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Lungi Ngidi, Ottneil Baartman
