Proteas bowler Anrich Nortje says they will treat their fourth T20 match against India on Friday as a final as they aim to wrap up the series with a match to spare.

Proteas bowler Anrich Nortje in action during the 1st T20 International match against India at Arun Jaitley Stadium on June 09 in India.Proteas bowler Anrich Nortjé says they will treat their fourth T20 match against India on Friday as a final as they aim to wrap up the series with a match to spare.

The fourth bout is scheduled to take place at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Gujarat’s Rajkot . Nortje admits the performance they gave in the third outing was shocking, but they are looking to make amends on Friday.“In the last game we didn’t perform very well or anything towards what we are capable of. So this will probably be like a final again for us, we need to seal the series as soon as possible and not give them an opportunity. That’s the main goal.”

For Friday's match, the Proteas will be hoping to have their opening batsman Quinton de Kock, who has been nursing a wrist injury and missed the three first clashes.
