IND vs SA, T20I Series 2025, Match 4 Winner Prediction

Match Winner: India.

While India bagged a 101-run win in the first T20I, South Africa made a strong comeback with a 51-run win in the second T20I. Nevertheless, India bounced back strongly with a comfortable seven-wicket win in the third T20I to take a 2-1 lead. That said, we can expect this to be a tight affair. However, India is expected to come out on top, thanks to their home advantage and all-round strength.
