South Africa vs India Match Prediction, 5th T20I: India and South Africa will face each other for the last time in this series, as the fifth T20I will be the final match of this all-format tour. This last encounter will be played on Friday, December 19, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

India entered the T20I series after winning the ODI series 2-1, and they are in a similar position in this 20-over format as well. Although they have already secured an unassailable lead in the T20I series, the team led by Suryakumar Yadav is in superb form and will be looking to maintain their momentum with a strong performance on Friday.

South Africa bounced back in the series with a 51-run victory over the Men in Blue in the second match. However, they needed a similar performance in Dharamshala, but the home team proved too strong. South Africa can no longer win the series, but they have a great opportunity to level the series at 2-2 and return home with some consolation.

IND vs SA 5th T20 Pitch Report

Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, besides attracting large crowds, is considered a batsman's paradise, especially in 20-over cricket. However, batting can become difficult on the pitch as the match progresses, meaning chasing a target here is quite challenging.

The average first-innings score is 183, and whenever teams have posted a good total batting first, they have gone on to win the match. Considering the increasing dew, batting first would be the right decision for the captain who wins the toss tonight.
