The fourth T20I between India (IND) and South Africa (SA) is set to take place at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on Friday, 17th June.
After two underwhelming bowling performances, India stormed to a big win in Vizag to restore a degree of parity to the series scoreline. They will look to continue their good form with another impressive performance in Rajkot, with the likes of Ishan Kishan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar firing on all cylinders. However, South Africa have a well-balanced side to fall back on, with their bowling attack leading the way for them. Despite missing a few key personnel, the Proteas will fancy their chances of a win, making for a good contest in Rajkot.

Pitch Report
A competitive track beckons at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium with ample help available for both the pacers and spinners. The batters will be wary of some early swing with the new ball, spending some time in the middle before shifting gears. While dew is likely to play a part, the spinners should have a say in the outcome of the game as well. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.
Today's IND v SA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant is yet to find his groove in the series, unable to get going in the middle overs. The southpaw is one of the most explosive batters in the world with his ability against spin standing out. With the Indian captain due for a big one, he is one to watch out for in the fourth T20I.
Batter
Rassie van der Dussen: Rassie van der Dussen has had his moments in the series, scoring 77 runs in three matches. The South African has a brilliant record in T20Is, averaging nearly 40 and striking at 131. Given his ability against both pace and spin, Van der Dussen should be a good addition to your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya has been decent with the bat, scoring 71 runs at a strike rate of 157.78. Although he hasn't had a huge say on the bowling front, Pandya remains India's best all-round option in this format. While he could have a role to play with the ball, Hardik's ability to score quick runs in the middle order should earn him a spot in your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada has been South Africa's best bowler in the series, accounting for two wickets while conceding at just 6.75 runs per over. The express pacer has the skills to succeed in subcontinent conditions, with his death bowling skills being noteworthy. With the conditions bound to suit him, the South African is a reliable pick in your IND vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
