India vs South Africa Live Streaming Details: When And Where To Watch India vs South Africa Match Live In Your Country? 1st T20I, IND vs SA. India is all set to host South Africa for a five-match T20I series in a space of just 10 days and the first T20I encounter between India vs South Africa is scheduled to take place on 9 June 2022 (Thursday) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from 7:00 pm.

The T20I series between India vs South Africa will be ideal for the preparation of the 2022 T20I World Cup scheduled to be played in Australia in October-November.

It will be a payback series for the Indian side after coming empty-handed from the South Africa tour at the start of the year. India lost the Test series 2-1 and the ODI series by 3-0. So their losing streak against South Africa is now 5 games in a row in two different formats.

Though India will be missing their key players, they have an impressive record at home.  India has not lost a T20I series at home since 2018. It’s been 14 months since they lost a T20I game at home. Team India is a really strong side to beat at home as they registered brilliant series win recently against Sri Lanka and West Indies earlier this year.

On the other hand, South Africa has not played international T20 cricket for a while now and they will be looking to do well against a rather inexperienced Indian team.

South Africa will assemble as a team for a T20I series for the first time after the 2021 T20I World Cup last year, though many of their players have already been in the T20 mode, thanks to the IPL 2022. Heinrich Klaasen makes a return to the SA T20I set up while India will welcome back Dinesh Karthik to their hut for the first time since 2019. India will also closely watch how Hardik Pandya performs as the all-rounder showed immense poise and leadership qualities in IPL 2022 while leading Gujarat Titans to the title.

India has a lead over South Africa as far as the head-to-head record in India vs South Africa T20Is is concerned. The two sides have clashed in 15 matches, with India winning nine. India is yet to lose a T20I since October 2021.

They have won 12 T20Is on the trot ever since the joint-most successive wins by a team in the shortest format with Afghanistan (February 2018 to September 2019) and Romania (October 2020 to September 2021). India can go the extra mile if they win the first T20I against the Proteas.

South Africa has won 4 of their last 5 T20Is. They haven’t lost a T20I series in India. In the last 5 T20Is between India and South Africa, both teams have won twice, and the remaining game was abandoned due to the rain.
