South Africa Women Face India in Five-Match T20I Series

South Africa's women's cricket team is set to host India for a five-match T20I series in April, from the 17th to the 27th, ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. The series will be played across three venues: Durban, Johannesburg, and Benoni. The first two matches will be held at Durban's Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium on April 17 and 19, followed by two matches at Johannesburg's DP World Wanderers Stadium on April 22 and 25. The series will conclude with the final T20I at Benoni's Willowmoore Park on April 27. This series will follow South Africa's T20I and ODI series against Pakistan in February-March. South Africa will also tour New Zealand in March-April before returning home for the T20Is against India. India, meanwhile, will be touring Australia for a multi-format series in February-March before travelling to South Africa. After that, they will play a three T20I series in England starting May. The 2026 women's T20 World Cup, to be held in England, starts on June 12. South Africa and India are both in Group 1 of the tournament, alongside Australia, Pakistan and two qualifiers. This series is crucial for both teams as they prepare for the T20 World Cup, where they are in the same group alongside Australia, Pakistan, and two qualifiers.
