The Indian team needs one more win to stay in this five-match series so that the series is decided in the fifth match.
Pant is such a brilliant batsman that when he is criticized in any format, he plays a brilliant inning and shuts everyones mouth and this is his chance in the fourth match. His bat has been silent in the first three T20s. The bowlers of South Africa have not allowed him to play the shots he wants by curbing his bat and often he is caught in the deep. They have to overcome this shortcoming.

On the other hand, South Africa would like to forget the previous defeat and return to the path of victory. The South African team-leading 2-1 in the series would like the series to be decided in this match. The South African camp will be praying for star batsman Quinton de Kock to make a full recovery from a wrist injury. In the third match, South African spinners Tabrez Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj proved to be very expensive. Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada did well but could not get support from the other end and the fielding was also poor.
In the last match, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan got India off to a great start. Ishaan has cemented his claim as a reserve opener with a mature batting line-up and must have caught the attention of the selectors for this years T20 World Cup in Australia. Gaikwad and Ishaan would like to maintain this momentum in the remaining two matches as well. After this, the two will also play two matches against Ireland before the return of the regular openers.
