South Africa will host India for a five-match women’s T20I series in April 2026, their first encounter since the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 final. The series, with matches in Durban, Johannesburg, and Benoni, will serve as preparation for both teams ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England.
The fixtures are scheduled as follows:
1st T20I – April 17, Durban
2nd T20I – April 19, Durban
3rd T20I – April 22, Johannesburg
4th T20I – April 25, Johannesburg
5th T20I – April 27, Benoni
India defeated South Africa to clinch the 2025 Women’s World Cup, adding context to this bilateral series. Both teams, drawn in the same group as Australia, Pakistan, and two qualifiers for the 2026 T20 World Cup, will use the series to fine-tune lineups, test player combinations, and adjust tactics ahead of the tournament. The series also offers an opportunity for teams to gain a psychological edge before their World Cup group-stage clash.
