IND vs SA: Team India will take the field to play their fourth and last T20I match against South Africa. In this four-match series, the Indian team led by Suryakumar Yadav is leading 2-1 and now their eyes are set on winning this series 3-1. However, after facing many challenges in the last two matches, this match can also prove to be a tough test for the team. Especially the poor form of opener Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh in the middle order remains a cause of concern for the team.

Match time: Challenge for fans to stay awake at night

The time of the match has also been a topic of discussion in this series. The first and third matches of the series started at 8:30 pm Indian time, due to which the match ended after midnight and the fans had to stay awake till late. The second match started an hour earlier, but the fourth match will also start at 8:30 pm Indian time. In such a situation, the fans will have to enjoy cricket till late night again.

Possibility of change in playing XI

The Indian team has tried 12 of its 15 players in this series so far. However, Yash Dayal and Visakh Vijaykumar have not got a chance yet. It will be challenging for captain Suryakumar Yadav to maintain a balanced and winning combination, but there is also a possibility of change in the team.

Returning to form is important: Challenge for Samson and Rinku Singh

In such a situation, all eyes will be on the form of these batsmen, who can play an important role in the team's victory.

Last chance of the series

In the fourth and decisive match, India will try to win the series 3-1, while South Africa will want to end the series on a draw by winning this match. This is expected to be an exciting match for both the teams and fans are also waiting for a high-level cricket.
