South Africa will host India in a five-match T20I series

The schedule for the five-match T20I series between South Africa and India, which will serve as a preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in June has been revealed.

The five-match T20I series will get underway with two games at Durban on April 17 and 19. The action will then move to Johannesburg, which will host back-to-back matches on April 22 and 25, before the series concludes with the fifth and final T20I at Benoni on April 27.

The two teams which clashed in the final of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 will meet for the first time since India got the better of the Proteas to be crowned World Champions in the 50-over format.

This series will serve as a preparation ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, which begins on June 12 in England.

South Africa and India have been drawn in the same group at the T20 World Cup alongside Australia, Pakistan and two teams from the qualifiers.
