NZ vs SA T20I Series Schedule 2026: Full Fixtures, Squads & Venues

The South Africa's T20 squad will be traveling to New Zealand for a T20I series against the home team. The five-match T20I series will be played after the completion of the T20 World Cup 2026.

All the five matches of the series will be played at different stadiums in New Zealand. Some of the most prominent names from both sides are likely to miss this series as they are likely to be rested.

The Kiwis will be looking to take advantage of playing in home conditions, where the pitch will suit batsmen. New Zealand has some of the smallest cricket stadiums in the world, which means there can be lots of sixes during the series.

On the other hand, the Proteas are not behind, as they also have some of the best T20 batsmen in the world. It is going to be a tough competition as both teams will be looking to take the first T20I series win of 2026.
