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.
Scorecard | Ball-By-Ball Commentary | Cricket News
Rishabh Pant (IND): The way the team showed character from 0-2 down was a huge positive. We are in a nice spot as we are finding different ways to win the game. I can only think about giving my 100% as a player and captain. This is the first time I have lost so many tosses, but it is not in my control.
Keshav Maharaj (SA): Very disappointed we didn't get a full game for the end of an exciting tour. We started pretty well, pity we could not see the outcome. We can't control the weather. We tried a few combinations.
When you get Man of the Series, it's always a proud moment, and as a bowler in T20, it's even better. I'm always focused on getting back stronger, whether it's my bowling or my fitness. I'm playing for years now, my role has always been the same. Bowl two in the powerplay, bowl two at the end. These things are always the same, but as a senior I always think about helping the youngsters.
It's official. The India vs South Africa fifth and final T20 has been abandoned due to rain. The series ended 2-2 and South Africa keep their record of not losing a limited-overs series on Indian soil since 2010 intact.
Still a little drizzle at Chinnaswamy Stadium. In case, no play is possible today, the series ends in a 2-2 draw as no reserve day is in place.
It's still raining at Chinnaswamy Stadium and chances of play are fading slowly. The cut-off time for the play to start is 10:02 PM IST for five-overs-a-side match.
The rain is continuously pouring and the groundstaff are waiting at the edge. Looks like it is not going to stop soon.
🚨 Rain stops play in Bengaluru.

Rains again. Only 3.3 overs bowled and the drizzle is on again. Umpires ask players to return to dugout.
Oh No! Lungi Ngidi is on fire tonight. He first removes Ishan Kishan with a slower off-cutter before getting better of Ruturaj Gaikwad. IND 28/2 (3.3)
Ishan Kishan gives India the best possible start hitting Keshav Maharaj for back-to-back sixes over deep mid-wicket. IND 16/0 (1)
The India vs South Africa fifth T20 will start at 7:50 PM IST. It will be 19 overs per side game.
The good news is that the rain has stopped and the super sopper are being deployed to work immediately. The ground staff are removing the covers although there are plenty of water both on cover and areas surrounding it.
Not the start we wanted. It's raining at the Chinnaswamy stadium as the players have walked back after coming out. We have a delay.
Rishabh Pant (IND): The wicket looks good and we would like to get anything around 180-190. We just need to focus on the process and put in our 100 per cent into the game. No changes in our playing XI.
Keshav Maharaj (SA): Despite the overhead conditions, it does look like a good wicket to bat on. Tristan Stubbs, Reeza Hendricks and Kagiso Rabada are in place of Temba Bavuma, Marco Jansen and Tabraiz Shamsi.
South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj(c), Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje
India: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan
South Africa have won the toss and have opted to bowl first.
With Temba Bavuma injuring himself in the last game, it is highly unlikely that won't be available for selection today. In his absence Keshav Maharaj will lead the side.
According to the weather department, there is a rain forecast for multiple spells throughout the day.
Dinesh Karthik has made the headlines for all the right reasons in IPL 2022 and once more justified his position in the team in the ongoing series as a finisher. India will be heavily banking on the 37-year-old.
