In the 5th T20I match of the South Africa tour of India 2025, India (IND) is set to face South Africa (SA). The last match was abandoned due to fog, despite which India has maintained a 2-1 lead over South Africa due to its good performance in the T20 series. In the third match, the Indian bowlers put up a brilliant performance, bowling out South Africa for 117 runs, after which they won the match easily by 7 wickets. Arshdeep Singh was the player of the match for India, taking two wickets for 13 runs in four overs.

On the other hand, South Africa's performance was not good at all. They lost the match due to poor batting in the first and third matches of the series. Now, this match will be a do-or-die for South Africa, which they will want to win at any cost to level the series. They will need to perform well in bat and bowl as well.
