The T20I series between South Africa and India has reached its final destination and it is the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The ground is known to be a high-scoring one and with both teams boasting of some quality batters, we can expect plenty of fireworks in this game.

India are leading the series by a 2-1 margin and South Africa need to win this one to level the series and they would be itching to do that infront of their home crowd. So, let's see what could be their team combination for this all-important game. South African openers - Ryan Rickelton and Reeza Hendricks both have not fired so far while Aiden Markram has also notched up just 40 runs in three matches. 

Onus On Miller To Deliver In 4th T20I In Johannesburg

However, there is not likely to be any change in the top 3 and nor in the middle order which boasts of players like Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. Klaasen and Stubbs have scored some runs in this series and they would be hoping that Miller comes up with a big performance in the final encounter.

Marco Jansen displayed his batting prowess in the last match and his all-round skills would be crucial for South Africa. Gerald Coetzee and Andile Simelane bowled well in the last match along with Keshav Maharaj, but Lutho Sipamla went wicketless and he could be replaced by Ottneil Baartman who has done well in the past. It is the only change expected in the Proteas line-up for the final encounter against a quality Indian side.
