In the last series before travelling to Australia to take part in the 2022 edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the Indian men's cricket team will take on South Africa in a white-ball series at home.
The Temba Bavuma-led side will play three T20Is and as many ODI matches in India from September 28 to October 11. The white-ball assignment will start with a T20I battle between the two sides in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday (September 28), and then the caravan will shift to Guwahati and the final T20I will take place at Holkar Stadium in Indore.
According to reports, the Indian team will depart for Australia on Wednesday (October 5), so a second-string Indian team will face the Proteas in the ODI matches, which begin on Thursday (October 6) in Lucknow, move to Ranchi, and conclude at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The upcoming series is going to be the third occasion this year when these two sides will face each other in a bilatreal assignment. India started 2022 by playing two Tests and three ODIs against them in South Africa, but suffered defeat in all five matches. Then, after the end of IPL 2022, South Africa travelled to India for a five-match T20I series. In that series, in the absence of a rested Rohit Sharma and an injured KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant led the side and played a 2-2 draw. The final match was whitewashed due to rain.
And now the Proteas are back for the white-ball series. And if that's not all, then the two teams will face each other in Australia as well during the T20 World Cup, as they are part of the same group. India vs South Africa's T20 World Cup match will take place in Perth on October 30.
As far as the teams are concerned, then all the Australia-bound South African players will feature in the T20I series against India. As for India, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya will not be seen in action.
