Ekana stadium pitch report
The Ekana Cricket Stadium Ground is traditionally known as a challenging surface for batters. Built on black soil, the pitch tends to offer low bounce and grip, with the ball often holding up on the surface. Unlike true batting tracks, this wicket demands timing and placement rather than brute force, especially as the match progresses.

While dew will play a major factor towards the second half of IND vs SA 4th T20I, both teams will brace themselves for a chilly night. The maximum and minimum temperatures will be 19 and 11 degree Celsius respectively. There is zero chance of precipitation during the contest.
