IND vs SA, 5th T20I
Date and Time: 19th June 2022, 7:00 PM IST
Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Pitch Report
The Chinnaswamy Stadium is a high-scoring venue with the dimensions of the ground going against the bowlers. Although there could be some swing available early on, the ball should skid on to the bat nicely. The middle overs should make for an even contest, with there being ample spin available for the spinners. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with dew bound to play a part in the game.

Batter
Ruturaj Gaikwad: Ruturaj Gaikwad has blown hot and cold in the series with 86 runs in four matches. While Gaikwad has seemingly struggled against pace, he is known for his knack for scoring big runs.

All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya has found his feet in the last few games, striking at over 150 with the bat. He had a good outing in the previous game, scoring a 31-ball 46. With the conditions suiting him, he is a must-have in your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Anrich Nortje: Anrich Nortje has not had the best of series', picking up just four wickets in four matches.
