The Story in Brief
Cricket South Africa has added three T20Is to India’s women’s tour later this year, extending the visit by a week. The one-off Test will be played from December 9 to 12, followed by three ODIs between December 16 and 22. The T20Is are scheduled for December 26, 28 and 30 at Benoni and Potchefstroom.
CSA said the matches will help both teams prepare for the inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in February. India lost their previous T20I series in South Africa 1-4 in March and April. South Africa also beat India in the T20 World Cup in England, hurting India’s semi-final hopes.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that India’s recent defeats make this an unequal contest, while the rival claim is that extra matches alone will fix either side’s problems. Neither follows from the schedule. Three T20Is offer useful preparation, but results will depend on selection, workload and conditions. The clearest measure will be whether India improve on their 1-4 series record before February’s Champions Trophy.
