South Africa will lock horns against India in the fourth T20I at the Wanderers, Johannesburg on Friday. The visitors won the previous match by 11 runs to take an impregnable lead of 2-1 in the series. Tilak Varma scored his maiden T20I century as he scored a majestic knock of 107 runs off just 56 balls.
Suryakumar Yadav’s team will look to bag the series whereas the Proteas will aim to bounce back to achieve parity. The home team’s batters have got off to starts but they haven’t been able to convert them into substantial scores.
Furthermore, the hosts’ bowlers have proved to be expensive and they need to find ways to keep the opposition batters at bay.
