4th T20I: Match called off due to poor visibility

The outcome was inevitable, with visibility showing no improvement. 

With the match abandoned, South Africa's only chance now is to level the series in Ahmedabad.

Inspection No. 5 is scheduled for 9:00 pm, followed by a further check at 9:25 pm.

Yet again, no decision has been taken, and the next inspection is scheduled for 9:00 pm.

On air, Deep Dasgupta pointed out that the light meter measures natural light, not artificial lighting. 

No change after the inspection. A fourth inspection is scheduled for 8:30 pm, with a 30-minute buffer for lost overs. The latest possible start time is 9:46 pm.

On air, Dale Steyn warned that if play does not begin soon, getting a game in could become difficult.

Next inspection at 7:30 pm.

Meanwhile, out-of-form India vice-captain Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the last two T20I games against South Africa with a toe injury, sources close to the team told PTI. 

It is learnt that Gill has sustained the injury during training session and all precautionary measures are being taken to ensure his speedy recovery.

Sanju Samson is likely to play as an opener in Gill's place.

The third match offered Suryakumar a perfect chance to regain fluency during a modest 118-run chase, yet the ease that once defined the world's top-ranked T20 batter was missing. His dismissal to the pick-up shot -- once his calling card -- summed up a year-long struggle. While Suryakumar insists he is 'out of runs, not out of form', the numbers are alarming: an average below 15 this season and no half-century in 2025. 

Gill's problems persist too. Promoted to open, he has yet to find rhythm in T20Is, with a scratchy 28 doing little to settle India's top order. With the T20 World Cup looming, India need their leaders firing -- and fast.
