IND vs SA 2025 5th T20I match LIVE: Suryakumar Yadav's Team India will look to complete a series win over South Africa when they face off in the final game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Team India will aim to complete a T20I series win in their second bite of the cherry as they face South Africa in the fifth and final game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The game will be a crucial one for captain Suryakumar Yadav, coming just a day before the announcement of Team India squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 final.

Suryakumar Yadav has been woefully short of form in T20I cricket, having scored only 239 runs in 21 innings at a strike-rate of only 119.5 since last October. The former world No 1 T20I batter hasn’t managed to score a fifty in T20I cricket since October 2024.

His deputy Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the series decided in at his ‘home ground’ in Ahmedabad due to toe injury. New Chennai Super Kings recruit Sanju Samson is set to return as opening partner of Abhishek Sharma for the match on Friday.

Aiden Markram’s South Africa, on the other hand, have the golden opportunity of leveling the T20I series after losing the ODI series 2-1. The series is currently at 2-1 in India’s favour but the fourth match in Lucknow earlier this week was abandoned due to fog.

The Proteas will be concerned by the form of batter Reeza Hendricks, who has only managed 0 and 8 in the series and has struggled to force the issue as well.
