The T20 World Cup preparations for the India Cricket Team took a hefty tumble as the India vs South Africa (IND vs SA) 1st T20I got abandoned due to rain. With just 5 matches now remaining ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Men in Blue lost some much-needed game time. Heading into the IND vs SA series, India had 6 matches remaining before the 2024 T20 WC.
India is slated to play three T20I matches against the Proteas. Following the conclusion of the series, the Men in Blue will engage in a 3-match T20I series against Afghanistan at home in January.
The priorities are set for the Men in Blue. After losing out in the ODI World Cup finals, the India Cricket Team is now keen to clinch the T20 World Cup title. But as for the India Cricket team’s schedule is set, there aren’t many T20I matches left. Moreover, today’s game that got wasted was a chance missed for Rahul Dravid to try out his permutations and combinations.
India will hope that the remaining 5 matches don’t get curtailed owing to rain. But it is not all gloomy for the players who will get an extensive IPL 2024 campaign before traveling to the USA and West Indies for the T20 World Cup.
As for the IND vs SA series, the second match will be held at St George’s Park on 12 th December while the final game of the series will commence on 14th December at New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
