IND vs SA Live Streaming: India and South Africa are set to face off in the opening T20I of the series at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Tuesday, December 9 - a matchup that brings back memories of the T20 World Cup 2024 final between the two teams.
This fixture marks the final phase of South Africa's all-format tour of India, where the visitors clinched the Test series but the hosts bounced back to take the ODI leg.
India, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, enter the contest with strong momentum. The Men in Blue have been impressive in white-ball cricket this year - securing the Asia Cup 2025 title and following it up with a notable T20I series triumph in Australia. With the 2026 T20 World Cup approaching and India set to defend their
title, these matches offer valuable preparation. Playing at home, they will fancy their chances of starting the series with a win.
South Africa, meanwhile, are searching for stability and confidence in the shortest format. Their recent form has been concerning, with a 1-2 series loss to Pakistan, a surprising defeat to Namibia in a standalone match, and only a drawn series against England. With results not going their way, the Proteas will be eager to reset and build momentum as they return to T20 international action.
