After entertaining the spectators with mouth-watering action in the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, Team India and South Africa are up against each other again in the shortest format of the game. South Africa are hosting India for a four-match T20I series, which will get underway with the first fixture on Friday (November 8) at the Kingsmead in Durban.

With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 just a few months away, the scheduling of this four-match T20I series doesn't make too much sense. However, such has become the case of the international cricketing calendar these days.

Kingsmead is all set to host the two teams for the series opener and one can expect the Proteas to come hard at India. The South African players were hurt beyond words after the loss in the final as they were on course of becoming the T20 world champions with 30 runs needed from as many deliveries.

David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen were among the South Africans who were scarred the most by the heartbreaking loss and they are making a return to the international arena for the first time since that epic final in Barbados. 

On the other hand, India are looking like a well-oiled unit under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. They are coming into this series on the back of a 3-0 whitewash of Bangladesh.

India vs South Africa head-to-head record in T20Is

India and South Africa have played 27 T20Is against each other. Out of the 27 T20Is, India have won 15 whereas South Africa have won 11 games. One match couldn't yield any result.
