New Delhi. The fourth and decisive match of the T20 series between India and South Africa will be played on Friday. If India has a chance to win this match and seal the series, then South Africa will try to equalize. The good thing from the Indian point of view is that the ground on which the match is to be held is considered lucky for Team India. India won the first T20 World Cup on this ground in 2007. Suryakumar Yadav has scored a century on this ground. The win-loss figures are also in favor of India.
The fourth T20 match between India and South Africa is to be played at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The Indian team has played a total of 6 T20 matches here. Out of these, it has won 4, while it has faced defeat in two. This is one of the few grounds in the world where the toss does not make much difference. The 26 T20 International matches played in The Wanderers are proof of this. Out of these 26 matches, 13 have been won by the teams batting first and the remaining 13 have been won by the teams batting later.
India has won 2 out of 3 matches of the series. Indian spinners have dominated this entire series. Especially Varun Chakraborty has proved to be an incomprehensible puzzle for African batsmen. In this series, Sanju Samson and Tilak Verma have scored centuries while Abhishek Sharma has scored a stormy fifty. Overall, the Indian team is in rhythm and is a contender for victory.
India has won the 3-match series in South Africa only once. It had defeated the host team 2-1 in 2018. Now Suryakumar Yadav’s team has a chance to win the T20 series in South Africa for the second time. Anyway, the statistics are in favor of India in the T20 matches against South Africa. Both the teams have clashed 30 times in T20 matches. India has won 17 of these matches. South Africa has won 12 matches and one was cancelled.
