The series will be a part of India's preparations for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, slated to be played from October 16. South Africa's last tour of India was in March 2020, which was called off in the wake up of the COVID-19 pandemic. The previous T20I series played between the two was in September 2019, which ended in a 1-1 tie.
