India equalled the record of most consecutive T20I wins from November 2021 to February 2022 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. The KL Rahul-led Indian team will now look to extend its winning streak and become the first team to win 13 T20I matches as it faces South Africa at home in a five-match series starting June 9.
Last T20I encounter between India and South Africa?
September 22, 2019: The last time India and South Africa clashed in a T20I match, the Proteas won by nine-wickets with 19 balls to spare as the then captain Quinton de Kock led the chase with an unbeaten 79 at M Chinnaswamy stadium, Bangalore.
Winning the toss, the men in blue opted to bat first, but lost wickets at regular intervals to settle for a below-par total of 134-9 in its 20 overs. South Africa’s first-wicket partnership was broken only in the 11th over, courtesy a diving catch from Virat Kohli off Hardik Pandya’s bowling. The visitors had already accumulated 76 runs and Reeza Hendrick’s wicket was a minor blip in an otherwise flawless chase.
Head to head record in T20Is
India has the upper hand over South Africa in T20Is, having won nine matches to the Proteas’ six. Two of the matches were abandoned.
