India vs South Africa T20 2024: Among the world’s best teams, South Africa and India are two powerhouses. India made a splash when it won the T20 World Cup when it was young, but the country hasn’t been able to repeat the feat since then.

To counter this, South Africa never ever won a championship, living up to their reputation as a choker.

Having said that, South Africa transforms into an entirely different side in bilateral T20 Internationals, displaying significantly more consistency in their performances.

Take a peek at the head-to-head records of India versus South Africa in T20 matches.

India vs South Africa T20 Head-to-Head History

On December 1, 2006, India and South Africa played their maiden Twenty20 encounter. In their maiden Twenty20 International, the Men in Blue of India triumphed despite a terrible trip of South Africa.

Indian bowlers worked together on a two-paced Johannesburg pitch and held South Africa to a disappointing 126/9. Zaheer Khan and Ajit Agarkar, two experienced bowlers, both took two wickets.
