This is not the way how everyone wanted the series to end. South Africa won the toss once again and sent India to bat first. Ishan Kishan gave the hosts a flying start with a couple of sixes in the first over. However, Lungi Ngidi made things look better for South Africa by accounting for both Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad before rain gods opened up at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. It started with a drizzle and went on and on before the umpired called off the game. The series ended 2-2. South Africa maintained their record of not losing a limited-overs series since 2010 in Indian soil. South Africa started the series on a rousing note winning the first two games. The Temba Bavuma-led side chased down India’s 200-plus total in the first match in Delhi before producing a clinical performance to win the second in Cuttack. Trailing 0-2, Rishabh Pant and Co. bounced back with back-to-back wins. The Indians defeated the visitors by 42 runs in Visakhapatnam before riding on veteran Dinesh Karthik’s maiden T20 fifty to level the series in Rajkot. Get highlights of IND vs SA fifth T20.
