Hyderabad: The highly-anticipated four-match T20I series between the hosts South Africa and India will commence from November 8, 2024, with the following matches taking place on November 10, 13, and 15.
The series will see the 2024 T20 World Cup finalists clash once again, as India aim to maintain its phenomenal run in T20Is, while South Africa will look to settle scores. The series will be aired live and exclusively on JioCinema, Sports18 – 1 SD & HD, and Colors Cineplex SD & HD.
Historically, the two nations have faced off 27 times in T20I matches, with India holding a slight edge, having won 15 encounters compared to South Africa's 11 victories. The cricketing rivalry between India and South Africa is steeped in history, marked by numerous thrilling contests and a mutual respect that transcends the game. This bond was notably highlighted when India became the first nation to tour South Africa after the end of apartheid, as well as during their visit to the Rainbow Nation amid the Omicron surge in December 2021. The upcoming series will feature a new-look Indian squad, under head coach VVS Laxman, on the back of their record-setting 3-0 whitewash of Bangladesh.
