IND vs SA 4th T20I Match Preview: Match Abandoned

IND vs SA 4th T20I Match Preview: The 4th match of the India vs South Africa series is set to be played on 17th December at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India. In the previous match, India dominated in bowling and got all the wickets of South Africa in just 117 runs, and the IND batsman chased it down in just 15.5 overs. Abhishek Sharma did a powerful start, scoring 35 runs in 18 balls, helping India take a 2–1 lead in the series.

In the previous match, the skipper of South Africa, Aiden Markram, fought hard and played a leadership role, but he received little support from the rest of the batting lineup. Let’s see how well they bounce back in today’s match. If they win, the series will be equalised, and the final match will decide the winner of the series. However, if India wins this match, they will seal the series and lift the trophy.

In the last 10 head-to-head matches, India is now leading with 7-3 against South Africa. It will be interesting to see how both teams perform in this crucial encounter.
