Xtra Time Web Desk: India is set to embark on a short yet thrilling four-match T20I series in South Africa this November. The announcement was made jointly by Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

This tour marks the second consecutive year the Indian men's team will visit South Africa, following their comprehensive tour across all three formats in the 2023-24 season.

 Match Schedules

The previous T20I series between these teams concluded with a balanced 1-1 scoreline, as the Durban match was unfortunately washed out by rain.

India's visit to South Africa will be strategically placed between their home Test series against New Zealand and their anticipated tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series.

CSA Chairperson Lawson Naidoo expressed his gratitude, stating, "I would like to thank the BCCI for their continued support to South Africa's cricket, and world cricket in general. Any tour by the Indian cricket team to our shores is filled with amazing camaraderie and exciting cricket, and I know our fans will be eagerly awaiting this series which will showcase the exceptional talent from both teams."

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah added, "India and South Africa have always shared a deep and strong bond, one that both nations take great pride in. The Indian Cricket Team has consistently received immense appreciation and love from South African fans, and this sentiment is equally strong among Indian fans towards the South African side. I am confident that the upcoming series will once again highlight the on-field cricketing excellence and deliver enthralling, high-intensity contests.

Cricket fans from both nations can expect a series filled with high-octane action and memorable moments. Be sure to catch all the matches and support your teams in what promises to be an unforgettable cricketing spectacle.
