SA-W vs IND-W: South Africa women to host India for multi-format series

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced the schedule for its home season (2026/27) for South Africa women, who will host India and Australia for a multi-format series.

This will not be India's first visit to the Rainbow Nation in 2026. They are also scheduled to play a five-match T20I series against the Proteas women in April. The first two fixtures of the series will be played at Kingsmead in Durban. Johannesburg will host the next two, and the final fixture will be organised at Willowmoore Park in Benoni.

Meanwhile, the ODI series between the two teams will be a part of the ICC Women's Championship 2025-29 cycle, whereas the one-off Test will be only the fourth red-ball clash between them.

On the other hand, Australia's maiden tour of South Africa will kick off with a three-match T20I series on April 18 in Kimberley. The end of the T20I series will make way for a three-match ODI series, which begins on March 31, and the tour will culminate with a solitary Test to be played in Potchefstroom. It will only be their second red-ball meeting in history. Australia won the previous meeting by an innings and 284 runs in February 2024.
