India vs South Africa to be shown on JioHotstar and Star Sports
India and South Africa clash in the fourth T20I of the five-match series on Wednesday, December 17, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, with the hosts holding a 2-1 advantage.
India will be eager to wrap up the series on home soil, while South Africa must win to keep their campaign alive and force a series decider in Ahmedabad.
India began the series with a controlled victory in Cuttack, before suffering a comprehensive 51-run defeat in New Chandigarh, where South Africa dominated in all three departments.
Suryakumar Yadav’s side responded emphatically in Dharamshala, delivering a complete team performance to reclaim control of the series. India will also take confidence from their unbeaten T20I record in Lucknow.
South Africa enter the must-win fixture knowing that another defeat would end their hopes of salvaging the series. Aiden Markram’s men showcased their potential in New Chandigarh, where their pace attack and middle-order firepower proved decisive.
However, recurring inconsistency with the bat, particularly during the opening and closing phases of innings, has undermined their progress.
For India, the objective is to sustain momentum while ironing out lingering concerns. Shubman Gill’s role at the top and Suryakumar Yadav’s personal form remain under close watch, even as the team continues to deliver collective results.
