South Africa to Host Tri-Series against West Indies and India
South Africa is in Group A of the World Cup, along with tournament favorites Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka. Group B includes Pakistan, England, Ireland, and West Indies.
Australia has won the World Cup five times out of the seven tournaments, while England and the West Indies have each won the tournament once. While India made it to the final for the first time in the prior competition in 2020 in Australia, where Australia defeated them by 85 runs at the MCG, South Africa has never advanced to the championship stage.
Enoch Nkwe, CSA’s director of cricket said, “These two sides [India and West Indies] are up there with the most talented and entertaining nations in women’s T20 cricket, having featured in two of the last four finals, with the West Indies lifting the trophy in 2016,”
“This will give the Momentum Proteas a highly competitive build-up to the ultimate prize of the T20 World Cup.”
