The schedule for the crucial five-match women's T20I series between South Africa and India has been unveiled, setting the stage for a crucial build-up to the Women's T20I World Cup scheduled to be played in June.
The series will begin in Durban, where the opening two T20Is will be played on April 17 and April 19. Following the Durban leg, the action shifts to Johannesburg. The city will host back-to-back encounters on April 22 and April 25.
The series will conclude with the fifth and final T20I at Benoni on April 27. This will be the first meeting between both sides since their clash in the final of the Women’s Cricket World Cup in November 2025.
“Facing a team of India’s quality so close to a World Cup is exactly what the Proteas Women need at this stage of the preparation. It gives them an opportunity to test themselves against a top-level opponent, fine-tune their combinations and ensure they are executing their plans under pressure," CSA director of national teams and high performance Enoch Nkwe said in a statement.
“This series will play a key role in sharpening the team’s readiness ahead of the T20 World Cup.”
