Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma both scored centuries, while Arshdeep's explosive start led India to victory in the series and the fourth match by 135 runs. 

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Wicket!!!!!

Keshav Maharaj Departs!!! Tilak Varma has made a stunning catch! Axar Patel bowled from around the wicket, delivering a full-length arm ball on the off-stump line. Maharaj attempted to drive it over extra cover but found Tilak, stationed at wide long off. He sprinted forward, diving for the catch!!!

Tilak Varma That Catch 🔥

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Wicket!!!

GONE! Samson takes an easy catch. Axar Patel bowls a short ball on the off stump. Coetzee tries to pull but top edges it straight up. Samson moves to his right and catches it safely. Axar Patel strikes again! Gerald Coetzee is out, leaving India just 2 wickets away from a series win.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Another One Departs!!!!

Chakaravarthy with a bouncer and he picks up a wicket. It has been that kind of a series for the spinner. Everything he has done, has worked out for him. 

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Stubbs Departs!!!

Bishnoi appeals for LBW, and Stubbs reviews it. The good-length delivery pitches on the fourth stump line and slightly turns away. Stubbs attempts a sweep but misses and gets hit on the pad. The impact is likely just outside off. The review shows fair delivery and no bat involved. Ball tracking confirms the impact is in line with the stumps, and it’s umpire's call on wickets. Stubbs walks back disappointed.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Wicket!!!

GONE! Chakaravarthy has removed Miller for the third time! The length delivery pitches outside off stump, and Miller, eager to heave it to the leg side, misjudges the shot and skews it off the bottom of the bat. The ball soars to Tilak Varma at long on, who makes the catch look routine.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Ramandeep Leaks Runs!

Ramandeep Singh proves to be expensive in his second over. Tristan Stubbs slammed him for two sixes and a four. A total of 21 runs came off the over. This is the first over for South Africa that has yielded more than 11 runs. They need 220 in 66 balls. 

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: David Miller On Fire!!! 🔥

SIXXXX!!!! Miller finally gets one from the middle of his bat and it goes out of the Wanderers Stadium. Around the wicket. Full and outside off. Leg break. Miller gets down on a knee and gives it his all and swings for the fences.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Strategic Timeout!!!

South Africa finds itself in a tough spot at 40/4 after just 7 overs, facing a daunting required run rate of 18.76. Tristan Stubbs and David Miller are now trying to build a crucial partnership. Ramandeep has replaced Arshdeep Singh, who impressively took 3 wickets in his 3-over opening spell.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Tough Job For Proteas!!

South Africa needs to build a partnership here. Not that they can win by doing that but at least it will give some confidence to their players. And also once the ball loses a bit of shine the batting will get easier and boundary hitting too. 

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Team India Is On Fire!!! 🔥

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Arshdeep Singh You Beauty!!!

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Klaasen Departs!!!

OUT!!!! That couldn’t be clearer! Arshdeep Singh has claimed two wickets in two balls, sending Klaasen back for a first-ball duck. The delivery pitched on a good length around off-stump and sharply nipped back in. Klaasen, trying to push from the crease, gets hit on the back pad. The appeal for LBW is immediate, and the umpire’s finger goes up. Klaasen wisely reviews, but it’s too late, UltraEdge shows no bat, and ball-tracking reveals three reds.

Arshdeep Singh, what a performance! He’s now on the brink of a hat-trick! 🔥🔥

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Another One Gone!!!

IN THE AIR & CAUGHT BY RAVI BISHNOI!!!!! 

The ball soared high, almost touching the moon, as Ravi Bishnoi positioned himself at extra cover. It danced in the night sky, slipping from his hands once, but he kept his focus. With a determined second attempt, he grabbed it out of the air, stunning everyone. The African skipper departs, outdone by Bishnoi's remarkable catch.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Hardik Pandya Strikes 🤙🏻!!!

Pandya strikes in his first over! Both the openers are back in the shed. The bowlers pick up where the top order left off. Good use of the conditions from both Arshdeep and Pandya. Extra bounce accounting for Rickelton.

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Arshdeep Singh Strikes!!!

Arshdeep Singh is on fire with those early wickets in the powerplay! It’s like a love story unfolding with every delivery. 

He clips the off stump bail, and Hendricks is left totally clueless as he walks back to the pavilion. That delivery was simply outstanding from the left-arm pacer.

 Arshdeep is absolutely charged up!

IND vs SA 4th T20I Live Score: Let's Go..!!!!!

The atmosphere is charged as we gear up for the run chase. Out in the middle, the dynamic duo of Reeza Hendricks and Ryan Rickelton take their positions as the opening for South Africa. The crowd buzzes with anticipation as Arshdeep Singh, India's young pace sensation, prepares to kick off the first over with the new ball in hand.

Welcome Back Folks!!!

Well, there comes the innings break and all the South African bowlers would be feeling this as the longest 20-over innings they have ever been on the field. It will take something incredible from South Africa to get back into this game..Let's see what happens next...Ready To Go..

IND vs SA 4th T20I: Pitch Report!!!

Pitch Report by Natalie Germanos

We are in Johannesburg and it is a bit cooler than normal. 45 percent chance of rain but hopefully, it stays away. We are in the center of the square so if you talk about the dimensions, the straight hit is pretty big 86m, 62 and 66m square boundaries. Shaun Pollock: It looks pretty good, the surface. Normally when we come here for a T20I it is a bit devoid of grass. It is very bare and we see a lot of cracks. But today, there is a decent grass covering. 

It will help the ball to carry through. There are hardly any cracks to talk about. I feel it is very good, we are going to see a lot of pace and bounce. Sometimes this is missing in these T20 games at the Wanderers. I think this track suits South Africa more. If you look throughout this series, it is the spinners that have dictated terms in the middle overs and pulled South Africa back. We saw when the batters went after them, particularly Varun Chakaravarthy, he found it hard to deal with. I think it will be the same situation here as well. It is the kind of wicket where if you get a few off the middle of your bat, you can put a little jitters into the bowlers."

IND vs SA 4th T20I: Will India hand debut to Dayal or Vysakh?

India has used 12 of their 15 players in the first three matches. Speculation arises about whether one of the uncapped fast bowlers, Yash Dayal or Vysakh Vijaykumar, will make their debut, especially if the pitch favors an extra pace option.

In 30 meetings, South Africa have won 12 matches, while India have emerged victorious on 17 occasions. What will happen in this match?

IND vs SA 4th T20I: Match Preview!!!

Let's take a look at the match Preview for the third T20I between India and South Africa written by Akshita Patel.

India delivered a stunning all-round performance in the 3rd T20 to win the contest by 11 runs. Batting first, Tilak Varma scored a blazing century as the visitors finished with 219/6. In chase, Varun Chakaravarthy struck twice before he was taken to cleaners by Heinrich Klaasen. Against the odds, Marco Jansen kept the Proteas in the hunt with a mad inning of 54 off 17 balls. 

However, Arshdeep Singh kept his nerves and defended 25 runs off the final over to seal an 11-run thriller for his side. India are 2-1 ahead in the 4-game series. Their overall performance has been solid so far. However, risky implosion in the death overs is something the think tank has to address. Additionally, the middle order, including captain Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh, are left with this final opportunity to prove themselves in a series that hasn’t gone their way.
