The Indian team is currently playing a 4-match T20 series on South Africa tour. Team India is 2-1 ahead in the series after winning 2 matches so far, which means it cannot lose the series now. Now the fourth and last match of the series will be played on 15 November. Both teams will play at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. This match is going to be very important for Team India. Team India, playing under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, has a chance to make a special record by winning this match and the wait of 6 years to win the T20 series in South Africa will also end.
This is the 7th time that the Indian team is playing T20 series in South Africa. During this period, Team India has lost the series only once. This time also he will not have to face defeat in the series. If South Africa wins the last match then the series will end in a draw. At the same time, if Team India wins in Johannesburg also, then it will win the series 3-1. Along with this, this will also be the first time when a team will win 3 matches in the T20 series between India and South Africa. Before this, no team has played more than 2 matches.
Let us tell you, this is only the second time when a T20 series of 4 or more matches is being played between India and South Africa. Earlier in the year 2022, South Africa had visited India. Then a 5-match T20 series was played. But this series ended in a tie of 2-2. Actually, one match was washed away in the rain. In such a situation, now Team India has a big opportunity. Apart from this, Team India won the last T20 series in South Africa in the year 2018. Then 3 matches were played between the two teams and the Indian team won 2-1.
So far 30 T-20 matches have been played between India and South Africa. In this, India has won 17 matches and South Africa has won 12 matches. While one match remained inconclusive. That means Team India has had the upper hand over South Africa in T20. On the other hand, the Indian team has played a total of 6 T20 International matches at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, in which they have won 4 matches and lost two matches.
