What’s at Stake?

India secured wins in Cuttack and Dharamsala, while South Africa took the second game in Chandigarh. With the fourth game in Lucknow abandoned, India cannot lose the series from here. However, a win for South Africa in Ahmedabad would mean a 2–2 draw, while an Indian victory would secure a 3–1 series win to go along with their recent ODI series triumph.
