It has been officially announced by Cricket South Africa and the Board of Control for Cricket in India that India will be embarking on a four-match T20I series against South Africa, starting on November 8. The first game will be held at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium in Durban, followed by a match at Dafabet St George's Park in Gqeberha on November 10. The series will then move to the highveld, with SuperSport Park hosting a match on November 13 and the final game taking place at DP World Wanderers Stadium on November 15.
This much-anticipated tour will come after India's home Test series against New Zealand and just before their tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. The secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Jay Shah, expressed his excitement for the upcoming series and the strong bond between India and South Africa. He also acknowledged the deep appreciation and love that the Indian cricket team has received from South African fans, and the mutual sentiment that Indian fans have for the South African team.
Shah confidently stated that the series will once again showcase the exceptional talent and deliver thrilling and intense matches on the field. Adding to this sentiment, Lawson Naidoo, the Chairperson of Cricket South Africa, thanked the BCCI for their continued support and praised the camaraderie and exciting cricket that is always present whenever the Indian team tours South Africa. Both teams have a strong fan base and Naidoo is sure that this series will not disappoint in terms of showcasing the exceptional talent on both sides.
It is worth noting that in the last T20I series between India and South Africa, which took place during their all-format tour last year, the three-match series ended in a 1-1 draw after the first game was washed out in Durban. Fans can only imagine the level of intensity and excitement that this upcoming series will bring, especially with the previous series ending in such a close draw.
The schedule for the tour has also been released, with the first T20I taking place on November 8 in Durban, followed by the second match in Gqeberha on November 10. The third game will be held in Centurion on November 13, and the final match of the series will take place in Johannesburg on November 15. Fans from both nations will surely be eagerly awaiting these matches, as they are sure to be filled with amazing cricket, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.
