Johannesburg - The South African women’s team will face India and the West Indies, in a triangular series which will form part of their final preparations for the T20 World Cup that will be hosted in SA next year.

The tri-series will take place in East London, from 19 January-2 February. The World Cup starts on 10 February at Newlands. SA’s T20 World Cup opponents in Group A consists of Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Bangladesh and five-time champions Australia.

The Proteas recently wrapped up their early season preparations with two training camps, and the players are looking ahead to the Women’s Super League, a four-team tournament that will take place in Cape Town from 11 December.

“These two sides are up there with the most talented and entertaining nations in women’s T20 cricket, having featured in two of the last four finals, with the West Indies lifting the trophy in 2016,” said CSA’s director of cricket Enoch Nkwe.  “This will give the Proteas a highly competitive build-up to the ultimate prize of the T20 World Cup.”
