The Story in Brief
Cricket South Africa has added three T20Is to India women’s tour of South Africa later this year. The revised itinerary begins with a one-off Test from December 9 to 12, followed by three ODIs between December 16 and 22. The T20Is will be played from December 26 to 30 in Benoni and Potchefstroom.
The Hindu reports that the extended tour will help both teams prepare for the inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in February. India lost the previous T20I series in South Africa 1-4 in March and April. South Africa also beat India in the T20 World Cup in England, damaging India’s semi-final chances.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that India’s recent T20 setbacks make this an uneven contest, while the opposite camp may treat three added matches as proof of a new rivalry. Neither claim is settled. South Africa won the last bilateral series 4-1 and the World Cup meeting, but India will have a longer tour and matches in two venues. The useful measure will be the result of the three T20Is from December 26 to 30.
