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.

Wicketkeeper

Quinton de Kock: Quinton de Kock has had a stop-start series, courtesy of injury concerns. However, the southpaw is one of the best openers in the world with his record in Indian conditions being impeccable. He also has a good record at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, holding them in good stead ahead of 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. Given his ability to pace an innings well and take on the spinners, he is a good addition to your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.

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. However, Nortje is one of the best bowlers in the world, with his ability to generate extra pace and bounce being the key. With Nortje being a capable bowler in the death overs, he is one to watch out for in this game.
