With the five-match series being led 2-1 by the hosts, India IND will take on South Africa SA for the upcoming fourth T20I encounter on Wednesday, December 17 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
India will want to win the upcoming contest and take an unassailable lead in the series. They had won the opening match in Cuttack, but were outplayed in New Chandigarh, facing a 51-run drubbing at the hands of the visitors. However, the Suryakumar Yadav-led unit staged a brilliant comeback in the Dharamshala fixture and kept themselves ahead in the series. Notably, India are unbeaten so far at this venue.
South Africa, on the other hand, will enter the contest in a desperate situation to clinch a victory, as the Aiden Markram-led side will certainly want to keep the series alive for the fifth and final match. A win tonight would mean that the series will move into Ahmedabad for an epic end to the riveting cricketing action. Else, they will have to return home with a 1-2 loss for the entire all-format tour.
