India Women's Cricket Tour of South Africa Expanded to Include Three T20Is
Cricket South Africa has expanded the Indian women's cricket team's December 2026 tour to include a three-match T20I series, in addition to a one-off Test and three ODIs. The tour will run from December 9 to 30, with matches across all three formats played in various South African venues. This addition aims to provide both teams valuable preparation ahead of the inaugural ICC Women's Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in February 2027. India and South Africa have a recent competitive history, including India's 1-4 T20I series loss in early 2026 and their World Cup final victory over South Africa last year.
