India didn't get a good start in the series as they failed in the first two matches. But they made a good comeback with the help of batters and bowlers in the last two matches, defeating their opponents with confidence. Rishabh Pant is leading Indian side for the first time in this series as K L Rahul got rest from the series due to injury. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is also rested in this series. In the last match, Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya gave a brilliant performance with bat, while Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel picked wickets to support their team.

But last two matches dipped their confidence as they were defeated, and they have to win this match to secure the series at 3-2. Their top batsmen have to implement their strategies against Indian bowlers effectively if they want to win this match.
Match Prediction:
The series as of now levelled for 2-2, both teams have a chance to show their dominance here. India is tournament favorites now as they have won the last two matches, with strategies in bowling and batting departments. We hope this to continue in the last match also. If the South African batters fails to oppose the pressure from Indian bowlers, they have a high chance to be defeated in this match. Let's wait and see who become successful in acquiring the series title.
