India would be flying high after the recent win in Centurion. Having led the series for the second time, Suryakumar Yadav & Co. would aim to go throw the kitchen sink at the Proteans in the final T20I with a series win on the line. 

South Africa tried their best to beat Australia, but the middle-order has been struggling all throughout the series. The narrow could have dampened the spirits of the Proteans, who also lost the T20I World Cup 2024 final to the same opposition. We expect India to continue the winning momentum in Johannesburg to clinch the bilateral series by 3-1.

According to betting odds on Dafabet, the visitors, India are slight favourites to win the 4th T20I against South Africa and clinch the bilateral series as a result.
