India vs South Africa 5th T20I weather report: Will fog, visibility affect final game? What does AQI Ahmedabad says?

Following the abandonment of the fourth T20I between India and South Africa due to excessive fog, the focus shifts to Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the venue for the fifth and final game of the series. With a 2-1 lead in the series, the Indians were looking to seal the deal, but poor air visibility and fog played the spoilsport.

Even if India lose in Ahmedabad, the Men in Blue won't lose the series as it would make the series 2-2. In case India win, the hosts win 3-1. While Jasprit Bumrah is expected to return, there are still doubts over Shubman Gill's availability. However, the focus will be on weather in Ahmedabad.

According to Accuweather.com, the temperature during the match will range around 25 degrees in the evening before dropping four to five degrees less by night. Dew will play an important role in the game. Ahmedabad experienced clear skies since morning with no indications of fog that could hamper the visibility.

Meanwhile, the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is known for high-scoring encounters and Friday won't be any different. The batters will enjoy the flat deck while the pacers are likely to get early assistance. Spinners will come into play as the match progresses.

South Africa: Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Donovan Ferreira, George Linde, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi/Ottneil Baartman
