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.
