That brings us to the end of our coverage of the five-match series between India and South Africa, and in a way, it is kind of fitting that the two teams walk away joint-winners after winning two games each, both teams showing grit and the ability to fight back at different stages. For South Africa, the series will have brought Heinrich Klaasen back into the maintstream and in the fray for the World Cup squad while for India, Dinesh Karthik returning to form in his first international assignment in three years surely is the biggest talking point.
We hope you enjoyed our coverage. This is Amit signing off and bidding you all good night!

MATCH CALLED OFF!
It's official now — rain has forced the fifth and final T20I in Bengaluru to be called off after just 21 balls, and the series trophy is shared between the two sides as a result!
India are yet to beat South Africa this year, after having lost the Test and ODI series in South Africa earlier this year!
21:35 (IST)
Commentator Pommie Mbangwa has a quick chat with the umpires Anil Chaudhary and KN Ananthapadmanabhan on the current situation in Bengaluru:
AC: “We should be able to start by two past time. We should be able to maximise play. We’re in touch (with the ground staff), and considering all the guidelines, we should be able to start a five-overs-per-side game”
KNA: “We have to wait till it stops. We can’t start with the drizzle. 25 to 30 minutes is the time required for the mopping up operations.”
21:25 (IST)
UPDATE: As rain continues to play spoilsport in the highly-anticipated series decider at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the match officials have decided to mark 10.02 pm IST as the cut-off time for a five-over-a-side contest. Anything beyond that, and the two captains will end up sharing the trophy.

Nature can be a real jester at times
Strange are the ways of nature.. I am at best 2km away from the #chinnaswamystadium and it is bone dry..#IndvSA

Why not...
Maybe bring back the glorious Bowl Out at Chinnaswamy to decide the series?

Or Lungi vs Pant 800 metres race, like Mark Richardson vs Lehmann?
21:02 (IST)
UPDATE: Still raining at Bengaluru at the moment, and it will take a fair bit of time for the groundstaff to mop up all the water in the outfield once it subsides. Don't think the Indian batters will have too many overs to add to their score if play does start later today.
20:48 (IST)
We're fast approaching the cut-off time
Five over game needs to start around 9.45ish IST usually. Give or take 10min. We are losing more overs for sure. #IndvSA

Certainly doesn't look good at the moment
Match ain't starting any time soon and expect for a much curtailed game. It's a heavy drizzle getting heavier by the minute#INDvSA

UPDATE: It's raining once again in Bengaluru and the covers have promptly been brought out with the players quickly making their way back to their respective dressing rooms. Hopefully it's just a passing shower and not one that holds play up for too long.
20:07 (IST)
OUT! India have lost both openers inside the powerplay, as Gaikwad ends up offering mid on the simplest of catches after a mistimed pull that results in a thick top-edge. Ngidi's ecstatic, having struck twice in as many overs. Was another slower one from the seamer, an off cutter to be more precise. IND 27/2
Gaikwad c Pretorius b Ngidi 10(12)
20:05 (IST)
After 3 overs,India 25/1 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 8 , Shreyas Iyer 0)
Kagiso Rabada bowls the third. Five off KG’s first over, including a first boundary of the innings to Ruturaj Gaikwad as the opener pulls a short-of-length delivery towards the midwicket fence. He will be on strike at the start of the next over.
20:04 (IST)
After 2 overs,India 20/1 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 3 , Shreyas Iyer 0)
Excellent first over from Lungi Ngidi, who is introduced from the other end, as he concedes just three in the first five balls besides a leg bye before deceiving Kishan with a slower ball to knock his off stump over.
20:00 (IST)
BOWLED! What a breakthrough for the Proteas, as Lungi Ngidi deceives the in-form Kishan with a well-disguised slower one! Kishan clearly didn't pick this one and the ball went under the bat and uprooted the stump. IND 20/1
Kishan b Ngidi 15(7)
19:58 (IST)
After 1 over,India 16/0 ( Ishan Kishan 15 , Ruturaj Gaikwad 1)
What a start for the Men in Blue! Ishan Kishan brings out the slog sweep early in the innings, collecting back-to-back maximums off Keshav Maharaj in the second and third deliveries. Follows it up with a brace off the fourth delivery. Single off each of the last two balls.
19:53 (IST)
Keshav Maharaj, filling in as the Proteas skipper today, to open the bowling with Ishan Kishan on strike for the first delivery. Just a reminder, it's a rain-curtailed game today with each team having 19 overs to bat.
19:32 (IST)
Update: Match reduced to 19 overs per side, and will start at 7.50 pm IST
19:19 (IST)
UPDATE: It has stopped raining in Bengaluru at the moment, according to the visuals on host broadcaster Star Sports.
"I don't see the game being delayed by more than 20 minutes," says cricketer-turned-commentator Sunil Gavaskar on air. The ground staff are hard at work at the moment and are making full use of the super sopper.
And now the covers are starting to come off. Good signs...

It's raining in Bengaluru!
The KSCA groundstaff rush out to the centre with the covers as the heavens above Bengaluru open up just when play is about to begin at 7 pm local time. And it's coming down quite heavily at the moment, and it looks like it will be sometime before play begins today!
Stay tuned for more updates!

Teams:
South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj(c), Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje
India: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan
18:37 (IST)
Keshav Maharaj, South Africa captain: The dew factor later in the evening might play a part. It’s a good wicket here in Bangalore. Temba’s out, he was injured in the last game. Tristan Stubbs, Reeza Hendricks and Kagiso Rabada get back into the side while Temba, Shammo (Shamsi) and Marco (Jansen) miss out. We’ve gone for the extra batter, four seamers and one spinner.
Rishabh Pant, India captain: I think I’ve tried practicing, but it doesn’t work. Looks like a good wicket, but we would like to have a total of around 180. The only conversation we had was to focus on our process, and we’re in the right space of mind. We’re playing with the same team.
18:33 (IST)
TOSS: South Africa win the toss and skipper Keshav Maharaj opts to field.
18:25 (IST)
Pitch report by Deep Dasgupta:
"It’s nice and firm with good carry. Decent number of cracks, especially the area where spinners would bowl. This pitch is also aggressive a touch. Spinners might get a bit of extra help. It has been overcast last four-five days so not much dew, but chasing sides have done well at this venue for the most part."
18:15 (IST)
Dinesh Karthik has made quite the impact in the Indian middle-order in the ongoing T20I series — his first appearance in international cricket since the semi-final against New Zealand in the 2019 ICC World Cup.
And among the many ex-cricketers impressed with his run in the current series, besides a stupendous run in IPL 2022 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, is former India pacer Ashish Nehra, who believes DK has already booked his place in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
18:00 (IST)
Team India enter the series decider in Bengaluru eyeing their first T20I series victory over the Proteas as well as Rishabh Pant's first major feat as India captain.
The Proteas, on the other hand, will hope to keep their superb record against India in 2022 intact with a third series win over the Men in Blue after beating them in the Tests and ODIs back home earlier this year.
