MOUNT MAUNGANUI: The stage is set for New Zealand and South Africa to lock horns in a five-game T20I series. It is worth noting that the men’s and the women’s teams will play alongside each other, and the two series will begin on March 15. It is worth noting that the T20Is will be played on March 15, 17, 20, 22, and 25.
Coming on the back of a disappointing T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, where South Africa was eliminated from the 1st semi-final and New Zealand lost to India in the final, the two sides will look to build towards the T20 World Cup in 2028. It is worth noting that New Zealand will have the likes of Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, and Kylie Jamieson in their squad. On the other hand, South Africa will boast the likes of Keshav Maharaj, Ottneil Baartman, and Wiaan Mulder among many others in their squad.
With the series right around the corner, many fans would be wondering where they can watch the five-game series in India.
