Record of India and South Africa in Barbados

On the pretext of the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, India and South Africa will face each other for the first time in T20 cricket in Barbados. Before this, Team India has the experience of playing only 3 matches here, in which it has won only 1.

The only win that the Indian team has got in the last 3 T20I matches played in Barbados is also in this T20 World Cup, when it defeated Afghanistan. Apart from this, the 2 matches that India has lost in Barbados, they were lost against Australia and West Indies in the 2010 T20 World Cup.

The story of South Africa is just the opposite. They have also played 3 T20I matches here and won 2 of them. South Africa played all three matches in the 2010 T20 World Cup in Barbados. This means that this is the first time in 2024 that the South African team will be seen playing a match in Barbados.
