series 2-2.

The Proteas have had a successful tour thus far in India.

Coach Shukri Conrad's side started the tour with a historic Test series victory, winning their first series in whites in India for the first time in 25 years with a 2-0 clean sweep.

The side then moved to the One-Day Internationals, where they lost the first match and bounced back strongly in the second, but lost the third and final match, thus losing the series 2-1.

In the shortest format, the Proteas currently trail 2-1, with the fourth match having been rained out without a ball bowled in Lucknow.
