South Africa and West Indies are set for a competitive three-match T20I series in South Africa from January 27–31, 2026, with all matches serving as important final tune-ups ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 starting in early February.
Originally planned as a five-match affair, the series was trimmed to three to manage workloads before the global event, giving both teams a concise but meaningful battle to sharpen combinations and build momentum.
For the Proteas, this series presents an opportunity to reverse some recent T20 struggles; their white-ball form has been patchy, including a series loss to India late last year. Key players such as Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis and Kagiso Rabada will be central as South Africa seek early confidence and match rhythm in home conditions.

Meanwhile the West Indies arrive with their own ambitions after mixed results in recent T20Is, including a series defeat to Afghanistan. With experienced campaigners like Shai Hope, Brandon King, Jason Holder and Sherfane Rutherford available, the Caribbean side will aim to assert themselves early and head back up the rankings before the World Cup.
