Statistics and trivia
In their past four Twenty20 International series versus South Africa, India has won two and drew the other two. South Africa last defeated India in a Twenty20 International Series, winning 2-0 on the Indian subcontinent in October 2015.
With 25 wickets at 23.68, Arshdeep Singh is India’s top T20I bowler this season. He is the second-highest wicket-taker among Full-Member nations in 2023.
At Kingsmead, there’s not much riding on the toss. Teams batting first have won eight of the 19 Twenty20 Internationals held there, which is precisely the same amount as teams batting second. At the 2007 T20 World Cup, there was just one tie—between India and Pakistan—due to two matches being rained out.
Ravi Bishnoi and Reeza Hendricks in the limelight
Reeza Hendricks is set to shine in white-ball cricket, benefitting from Quinton de Kock’s absence. With four times the T20I runs in 2022, he’s a strong contender for the T20 World Cup.
Ravi Bishnoi, India’s rising T20I bowler, poses a challenge for South Africa with his legspin prowess, especially given their historical struggles against such bowlers. Hendricks’ stellar performance and Bishnoi’s recent success add excitement to the upcoming cricket events.
Don’t miss out on the action! Tune in to the live stream on Sunday and witness the first chapter of this exciting T20I series unfold.
