As the highly anticipated T20 series between India and South Africa (IND vs SA) is set to commence in November 2024, fans can prepare to tune in to Sports-18 and Jio Cinema for the live telecast. This series, consisting of four matches, will not be available on the more commonly used platforms such as SONY or Hotstar, a surprising shift that has caught the attention of many cricket enthusiasts.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced the tour in June, but details regarding the live streaming of the matches were not provided at that time. Now, it has been confirmed that Sports-18 and Jio Cinema will exclusively broadcast the T20 clashes between these two cricketing giants.
India’s tour to South Africa is a significant part of their cricketing calendar, especially following their scheduled engagements with Sri Lanka in July and Bangladesh in September. The T20 series promises to be a thrilling contest, with the Indian team gearing up to face the Proteas in four matches scheduled from November 8 to November 15, 2024.
Suryakumar Yadav Set to Lead India in T20 Series
In a noteworthy development, Suryakumar Yadav is likely to captain the Indian side against South Africa. Following Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the T20 format, Suryakumar was chosen to lead the team in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. According to sources, his leadership role may extend into the upcoming T20 series against South Africa. He has previous experience captaining against this team when South Africa toured India in December last year, a series that ended in a 1-1 draw under his leadership.
Schedule for IND vs SA T20 Series
The schedule for the IND vs SA T20 series is as follows:
- 1st T20: November 8, Durban
- 2nd T20: November 10, Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth)
