IND vs SA Live Streaming: Where to Watch India vs South Africa T20 World Cup Warm-Up Match on TV and Online?

IND vs SA Live Streaming: India will lock horns with South Africa in their only warm-up fixture ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, February 4.

The match offers both sides a valuable opportunity to fine-tune their combinations and assess match readiness before the main tournament begins. Interestingly, the two teams have previously faced each other in just one T20 World Cup warm-up game, which took place during the 2016 edition in India.

India enter the tournament as hosts and one of the leading title contenders. Their preparations have been boosted by a successful T20I series triumph over New Zealand, which reinforced the team's strong form in the shortest format. The Indian squad

appears well-rounded, with a powerful batting lineup that offers depth and adaptability-qualities expected to be highly effective in familiar home conditions. The spin department is another area of strength, with multiple options capable of exploiting subcontinental surfaces.

One of the biggest positives for India heading into the tournament is the return to form of captain Suryakumar Yadav. The dynamic batter delivered a standout performance during the New Zealand series, scoring three half-centuries in five innings and earning the Player of the Series award. Since the previous T20 World Cup, India have maintained remarkable consistency, winning every bilateral T20I series they have played and also lifting the Asia Cup in 2025, which has further cemented their status as favourites.

South Africa, on the other hand, arrive with confidence following a competitive SA20 season, where several players showcased impressive form. Although injuries have caused minor setbacks during their preparations, the Proteas still boast a formidable squad. Led by Aiden Markram, the team blends experienced campaigners with emerging talent, creating a balanced lineup capable of challenging any opposition.

South Africa's fast-bowling unit remains one of their strongest assets, particularly in global tournaments where pace and bounce often play a decisive role. Having finished as runners-up in the previous T20 World Cup, the Proteas will be determined to go one step further this time and capture their maiden title.
