After winning the T20I series by 4-1 against Australia at home, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side is set for an even tougher challenge. The 3-match T20I series in South Africa will commence on December 10 in Durban. This will be India’s first T20I series in South Africa since 2018. Meanwhile, ahead of the 1st match, fantasy game players would like to know about the conditions such as the Kingsmead Durban pitch report and the last T20 match scorecard. In this space, you will get to know about the venue including Durban Cricket Stadium’s T20 records and weather forecast for 1st SA vs IND T20I.
