India National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Timeline: T20I 

India National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Timeline

The Indo-Afro rivalry in T20Is marked India’s domination over South Africa in the shortest format of cricket. The India national cricket team vs South Africa national cricket team timeline shows that Men in Blue dominated Proteas over the years in a 20-over format. The first-ever T20I match between India and South Africa was played on 1 December 2006 at Wanderers in Johannesburg. Some of the iconic moments of India-South Africa T20I encounters have come in the T20 World Cups, and the 2012 T20 World Cup match between these two sides is probably the best match ever produced by this rivalry.

This match took place in Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium, where South Africa decided to bowl first after winning the toss. This decision of the Proteas seemed good at the end of the first innings as they restricted India to just 152/6. The match looked in South Africa’s grip until Indian bowlers started to bowl, and they took the match to a situation where South Africa required only 14 runs in the last over with two wickets in hand. Laksmipathi Balaji delivered the last over for India. For South Africa, Albie Morkel and Dale Steyn were on strike; Balaji bowled a tremendous over and won this match for India by just 1 run. 6, W, 0, 6, W was the timeline of the last over bowled by Balaji in this match.

Another memorable T20I match between India and South Africa was played in the 2014 T20 World Cup 2nd Semifinal, where India edged past South Africa thanks to Virat Kohli’s brilliance. The 2024 T20 World Cup final is the recent addition to the memorable matches of this India vs South Africa T20I timeline. This match was an all-time blockbuster where events were happening like a roller coaster ride where for a few overs India was in the winning position and for a few overs South Africa. At one time, South Africa needed 30 runs off 30 balls, but from there, Indian bowlers kept their nerves and delivered the 2nd T20I title for India.
