South Africa, as the host, is looking to avenge its World Cup final loss to India, while the visitors seek to extend its winning streak in T20 cricket. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, Team India comes into IND vs SA T20I series after dominant 3-0 victories over both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The T20 series between India and South Africa begins on November 8 and wraps up on November 15, with matches scheduled in Durban, Gqebera, Centurion, and Johannesburg.
The pitches at these four venues are expected to favor batsmen while also providing ample assistance for fast bowlers.

The squad features three uncapped players, with several senior players absent as they are part of the India and India A squads touring Australia for Border-Gavaskar trophy.
India's predicted playing 11 for IND vs SA 1st T20I: Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.
