India vs South Africa 5th T20I Match Preview
Bengaluru: The Indian cricket team is on a high after winning the last two matches against South Africa and will look to clinch the five-match series with a victory in the fifth and final game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
If any of the teams lose the match, they will lose the five-match series which is really important in their preparation for the T20 World Cup. India lost the first two matches comprehensively but returned to winning ways in the third one. Rishabh Pant’s men crushed the visiting side by 48 runs in the third T20I match at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium on Tuesday and then won the fourth match at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot by a massive 82 runs.
The Indian batsmen and bowlers have been performing well in the series but skipper Risabh Pant’s form is a concern for the team. He had a bad Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and hasn’t been able to revive his form in the ongoing series. However, other top Indian batsmen and bowlers have looked in good touch in the last two matches and they will look to continue it in the final clash in the series as well.
