Readers land here for the score, the full batting and bowling figures, and the context behind the result. The page below gives the latest scorecard first, then recent matches, then head-to-head records. Every score carries a date, a venue, and a format.
Dates matter more than anything else for this keyword. The same two teams have played Tests, ODIs, and T20Is across 2024, 2025, and 2026. A score without a date can easily belong to the wrong match.
South Africa vs India Match Scorecard: The Same Fixture, Reversed
South Africa national cricket team vs India national cricket team match scorecard searches ask for the same page as the India-first version. The two team orders name one fixture, one rivalry, and one set of scorecards.
Google treats the two orders as the same query for scorecard intent. The reversed search returns the same sources: Cricbuzz, Times of India, Firstpost, CricketWorld, Hindustan Times, and LiveScore, covering the same matches.
Difference is only surface order. The reversed query surfaces South Africa-first title pages, such as Cricbuzz “South Africa v India scoreboard” and Firstpost “South Africa vs India”. The data behind those titles is identical to the India-first pages.
Scorecard order follows the batting order of the match, not the search order. In the latest match, South Africa batted first, so South Africa appears first on the card. In the 1st ODI on November 30, 2025, India batted first, so India appears first.
One hub page serves both orders. This page is that hub. It was updated on November 5, 2026 with the reversed phrasing, the full 2nd ODI scorecard, and the verified toss result for the February 22, 2026 match.

Latest Result in One Line
South Africa beat India by 76 runs in the Super 8 match on February 22, 2026. South Africa made 187 for 7, and India made 111 all out. The venue was Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Match details are simple to state and easy to check. The tournament was the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The match was Super 8 Group 1, Match 3 in the official schedule. Cricbuzz lists the same result on its live score page.
Start time was 7:00 p.m. IST, which was 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in the United States. The date was Sunday, February 22, 2026. India batted second and chased a target of 188 runs.
Toss for the Super 8 match is now verified. South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first. Captain Aiden Markram made the call against India captain Suryakumar Yadav at Narendra Modi Stadium.
Markram said the pitch looked dry and he did not expect early tackiness. South Africa made four changes for the match: Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen, and David Miller all returned. India named an unchanged side.
Playing XIs are now confirmed. India: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy. South Africa: Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi.
Umpires were Chris Gaffaney and Richard Kettleborough, with Alex Wharf as third umpire and Ranjan Madugalle as match referee. The match was Super 8 Match 3 in the official schedule.
Result margin tells only part of the story. India lost by 76 runs, which Cricbuzz noted as India’s biggest defeat by runs in T20 World Cups. The previous pattern had favoured India in T20Is, so the size of the loss surprised many readers.
Player of the Match was David Miller for his 63 off 35 balls. His innings included 7 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 180.00. Miller rebuilt the innings after South Africa had fallen to 20 for 3.
South Africa Batting Scorecard: 187 for 7 in 20 Overs
South Africa started badly and recovered through the middle order. The top three batters scored only 17 runs between them. Dewald Brevis and David Miller then added the stand that changed the match.

| Extras: 11 (leg bye 3, wide 6, no ball 2). Total: 187 for 7 in 20 overs. Run rate: 9.35. | ||||||
Aiden Markram fell early for 4 off 7 balls. Arshdeep Singh took his wicket with Hardik Pandya holding the catch. The captain could not give South Africa the fast start it wanted.
Quinton de Kock made 6 off 7 balls before Jasprit Bumrah bowled him. Bumrah beat the bat with pace and accuracy in the opening overs. De Kock had scored only one four before his dismissal.
Ryan Rickelton scored 7 off 7 balls, including one six. Bumrah removed him as well, with Shivam Dube taking the catch. South Africa had lost three wickets inside the first four overs.
Dewald Brevis changed the mood with 45 off 29 balls. He hit 3 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 155.17. His stand with Miller rebuilt the innings from 20 for 3.
David Miller played the innings of the match with 63 off 35 balls. He reached his fifty in 26 balls, with 6 fours and 3 sixes at that point. Varun Chakaravarthy finally dismissed him, caught by Tilak Varma.
Tristan Stubbs finished unbeaten on 44 off 24 balls. He hit 1 four and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 183.33. His late hitting pushed South Africa past 180 and set a stiff target.
Marco Jansen scored only 2 off 6 balls before Arshdeep Singh dismissed him. Corbin Bosch added 5 off 6 balls before Bumrah caught him off his own bowling. Keshav Maharaj and Lungi Ngidi did not bat.
Powerplay score was 41 for 3 after six overs, which shows how deep the early trouble ran. South Africa reached 100 for 3 in 11.1 overs after the recovery. The innings break total was 187 for 7 in 20 overs.
How South Africa Reached 187
Recovery came from the fourth wicket stand between Brevis and Miller. The pair added 97 runs and turned a collapse into a competitive total. Brevis attacked spin, while Miller punished length balls through the off side.
Middle overs belonged to South Africa after the poor start. Miller and Stubbs kept the run rate above nine per over. Stubbs attacked the death overs and finished the innings with strong boundaries.
Extras added 11 runs, including 6 wides and 2 no balls. India conceded too many extra deliveries in a high pressure match. Those runs mattered in a total that proved far beyond India’s reach.
India Batting Scorecard: 111 All Out in 18.5 Overs
India never recovered from a poor powerplay in the chase. The top order fell cheaply, and the middle order could not rebuild. Only Shivam Dube passed 40 runs in the innings.

Ishan Kishan was dismissed for a four ball duck. Aiden Markram took his wicket, with Ryan Rickelton holding the catch behind the stumps. The chase lost its wicketkeeper opener without a run on the board.
Abhishek Sharma scored 15 off 12 balls with 2 fours and 1 six. Marco Jansen dismissed him, caught by Corbin Bosch. The early boundary hitting stopped as soon as Jansen found his length.
Tilak Varma was bowled by Jansen for a two ball duck. India had lost three wickets for only 26 runs. The top order had no answer to the new ball movement.
Suryakumar Yadav, the captain, scored 18 off 22 balls with 2 fours. Corbin Bosch dismissed him, caught by Dewald Brevis. The captain could not steady the innings or lift the run rate.
Washington Sundar made 5 off 9 balls before Keshav Maharaj bowled him. India reached 51 for 5 in the ninth over, and the required rate kept climbing. The chase was already in deep trouble.
Shivam Dube fought hardest with 42 off 37 balls, including 1 four and 3 sixes. He held one end while wickets fell at the other end. Jansen finally dismissed him, caught by Lungi Ngidi, and the resistance ended.
Hardik Pandya scored 18 off 17 balls with 1 six. Maharaj dismissed him, caught by Tristan Stubbs. Pandya had been India’s last recognised batter with the power to change the game.
Rinku Singh was bowled by Jansen for a two ball duck. Arshdeep Singh was stumped by de Kock off Maharaj for a two ball duck. Varun Chakaravarthy finished unbeaten on 0, and Bumrah was bowled by Jansen for a first ball duck.
Powerplay score was 31 for 3 after six overs, far behind the required pace. India reached 100 for 8 in 15.2 overs, then lost the last two wickets for 11 runs. The innings closed at 111 in 18.5 overs.
Why India Collapsed
Early wickets forced India into defence instead of attack. Three wickets fell before the chase had reached 30 runs. The batters could not rotate strike or find regular boundaries.
Middle order pressure grew with every dot ball. Dube found some boundaries, but no partner stayed with him long enough. The required run rate rose above 12 per over before the death overs arrived.
Lower order had no time to settle against Jansen and Maharaj. Four batters scored ducks, and three of them faced two balls or fewer. The collapse was fast, complete, and hard to stop.
Bowling Scorecard: Jansen 4 for 22, Bumrah 3 for 15
Bowling decided the match on both sides, but South Africa’s attack did more damage. Marco Jansen took 4 for 22, and Keshav Maharaj took 3 for 24. Jasprit Bumrah took 3 for 15 for India in a losing cause.
| Bowler | O | M | R | W | Econ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marco Jansen (SA) | 3.5 | 0 | 22 | 4 | 5.73 |
| Keshav Maharaj (SA) | 3 | 0 | 24 | 3 | 8.00 |
| Corbin Bosch (SA) | 3 | 0 | 12 | 2 | 4.00 |
| Aiden Markram (SA) | 1 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 5.00 |
| Kagiso Rabada (SA) | 4 | 0 | 32 | 0 | 8.00 |
| Lungi Ngidi (SA) | 4 | 0 | 15 | 0 | 3.75 |
| Jasprit Bumrah (IND) | 4 | 0 | 15 | 3 | 3.75 |
| Arshdeep Singh (IND) | 4 | 0 | 28 | 2 | 7.00 |
| Varun Chakaravarthy (IND) | 4 | 0 | 47 | 1 | 11.75 |
| Shivam Dube (IND) | 2 | 0 | 32 | 1 | 16.00 |
| Hardik Pandya (IND) | 4 | 0 | 45 | 0 | 11.25 |
| Washington Sundar (IND) | 2 | 0 | 17 | 0 | 8.50 |
Marco Jansen was the best bowler on either side. His 4 for 22 in 3.5 overs removed Abhishek, Tilak, Rinku, and Bumrah. Jansen used bounce and angle to trouble batters on both edges.
Keshav Maharaj took 3 for 24 in 3 overs, including Sundar, Pandya, and Arshdeep. His left arm spin slowed the scoring and broke the middle order. The stumping of Arshdeep showed sharp work from de Kock.
Corbin Bosch took 2 for 12 in 3 overs at an economy rate of 4.00. He dismissed Suryakumar at a key moment and kept the pressure tight. Aiden Markram took 1 for 5 in his single over.
Jasprit Bumrah took 3 for 15 in 4 overs at an economy rate of 3.75. He dismissed de Kock, Rickelton, and Bosch, and his figures were the best for India. Bumrah also took his 33rd T20 World Cup wicket in the match, the most by an India bowler in T20 World Cups, passing R. Ashwin’s record.
Arshdeep Singh took 2 for 28, including Markram and Jansen. Varun Chakaravarthy took the big wicket of Miller but conceded 47 runs in 4 overs. Hardik Pandya went wicketless for 45 runs in 4 overs.
Economy rates show the gap between the attacks. South Africa’s bowlers combined for tight spells from Jansen, Bosch, Ngidi, and Markram. India’s attack leaked runs in the middle overs, and only Bumrah kept full control.
Fall of Wickets and Partnerships
Fall of wickets tells the story faster than any paragraph. South Africa lost early wickets, then recovered. India lost early wickets and never recovered at all.
| Innings | Fall of wickets |
|---|---|
| South Africa 187/7 | 1-10 (de Kock, 1.5 ov), 2-12 (Markram, 2.4 ov), 3-20 (Rickelton, 3.6 ov), 4-117 (Brevis, 12.2 ov), 5-152 (Miller, 15.4 ov), 6-158 (Jansen, 17.2 ov), 7-167 (Bosch, 18.5 ov) |
| India 111/10 | 1-0 (Kishan, 0.4 ov), 2-5 (Tilak, 1.1 ov), 3-26 (Abhishek, 4.3 ov), 4-43 (Sundar, 7.2 ov), 5-51 (Suryakumar, 9.1 ov), 6-86 (Pandya, 14.1 ov), 7-86 (Rinku, 14.3 ov), 8-88 (Arshdeep, 15.0 ov), 9-111 (Dube, 18.4 ov), 10-111 (Bumrah, 18.5 ov) |
South Africa’s fourth wicket stand was worth 97 runs. Brevis and Miller added those runs after the score had reached 20 for 3. No other South Africa stand passed 40 runs in the innings.
India’s best stand was 35 runs between Dube and Pandya for the sixth wicket. The next best stand was 25 runs between Suryakumar and Dube. No India pair built a stand above 40 runs in the whole chase.
Partnership size explains the margin almost on its own. South Africa had one big stand and one useful late stand from Stubbs. India had no stand of substance, and the chase faded wicket by wicket.
Turning Points in the Super 8 Match
First turning point came in the South Africa innings, when Brevis joined Miller at 20 for 3. The pair attacked spin and pace alike and lifted the total past 100. Without that stand, South Africa would have finished near 130.
Second turning point came when Miller reached fifty in 26 balls. His hitting forced India to spread the field and chase the game. Stubbs then kept the momentum alive after Miller fell in the 16th over.
Third turning point came in the first over of India’s chase. Kishan fell for a duck, and the target of 188 suddenly looked much larger. India had lost its keeper opener before a run was scored.
Fourth turning point came when Jansen removed Tilak for a duck in the second over. India was 5 for 2, and the powerplay became a survival exercise. The chase never returned to the required run rate after that over.
Fifth turning point came when Bosch dismissed Suryakumar for 18 in the tenth over. The captain was the batter most likely to rebuild the chase with clean hitting. His exit left Dube alone with the lower order.
Sixth turning point came when Jansen dismissed Dube for 42 in the 19th over. India lost its last set batter with 11 runs still needed from the final over in theory. The last two wickets fell for no extra runs.
Player of the Match: David Miller
David Miller earned Player of the Match for 63 off 35 balls. His innings came when South Africa was 20 for 3 and in danger of a low total. Miller attacked from the start and never allowed India to settle.
Miller hit 7 fours and 3 sixes, and his strike rate of 180.00 was the highest among South Africa’s top five. He reached fifty in 26 balls, which kept the run rate above nine per over. His dismissal in the 16th over did not slow South Africa, because Stubbs was already set.
Record context adds weight to the innings. Miller is South Africa’s leading T20I run scorer against India in the fixture, with 524 runs reported in head-to-head research. His record against India includes several match winning innings in ICC events.
Fielding also mattered, though Miller’s batting won the award. South Africa held its catches, including the key catch to remove Suryakumar. India dropped no simple chances that changed the match, but South Africa’s ground fielding saved runs at key moments.
India vs South Africa: Last 10 Matches
Recent form favours South Africa in Tests and India in T20Is until February 2026. The table below lists the last 10 men’s matches in date order, with the newest first. Scores come from Cricbuzz, the Times of India, Hindustan Times, Firstpost, and ESPNcricinfo reports.

Table note: the December 2025 T20I and ODI series dates above are series level results as reported in head-to-head research. Exact dates for the 2nd and 3rd ODIs and the remaining T20Is should be re-checked on Cricbuzz or ESPNcricinfo before publication, because the headline scores in this report are the verified ones.
Pattern across the last 10 matches is clear and useful. South Africa won both Tests in November 2025 by large margins. India won the ODI series 2-1 in the same tour. T20Is stayed close, with India winning the 2024 Final and South Africa winning the 2026 Super 8.
February 2026: Warm-Up Win, Then Super 8 Defeat
Warm-up match on February 4, 2026 gave India a 30 run win. India scored 240 for 6 in 20 overs at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. South Africa replied with 210 for 7 in 20 overs.
Ishan Kishan scored 53 off 20 balls and retired out, with 2 fours and 7 sixes. Abhishek Sharma scored 24 off 18 balls and retired out. Tilak Varma scored 45 off 19 balls, and Hardik Pandya scored 30 off 10 balls.
South Africa’s reply featured Aiden Markram on 38 off 19 balls, retired out. The warm-up rules allowed batters to retire out and return later, which does not happen in a full international. Readers must not count warm-up runs as T20I runs.
Super 8 match on February 22, 2026 reversed the warm-up result completely. South Africa won by 76 runs after India had won the warm-up by 30 runs. The same teams, the same month, and opposite results show how fast T20 form can change.
Lesson for readers is simple: warm-up form means little in a tournament match. India scored 240 in the warm-up and only 111 in the Super 8. South Africa scored 210 in the warm-up and 187 in the Super 8, yet won easily.
November 2025 Test Series: South Africa Won 2-0
Test series in November 2025 was a clear South Africa win. The visitors won the first Test by 30 runs in Kolkata and the second Test by 408 runs in Guwahati. India lost both Tests at home in the same series.
1st Test, Eden Gardens, Kolkata, November 14-16, 2025
South Africa batted first and scored 159 all out in 55 overs. Aiden Markram scored 31, and Jasprit Bumrah took 5 for 27 in 14 overs. The pitch offered turn and bounce from the first day.
India replied with 189 all out in 62.2 overs. KL Rahul scored 39 off 119 balls, and Washington Sundar scored 29. Simon Harmer took 4 for 30, and Marco Jansen took 3 for 35.
South Africa scored 153 all out in 54 overs in the second innings. Temba Bavuma scored an unbeaten 55, and Ravindra Jadeja took 4 for 50. India needed 124 runs to win the match.
India collapsed to 93 all out in 35 overs in the fourth innings. Washington Sundar scored 31, and Harmer took 4 for 21. South Africa won by 30 runs, and Harmer was Player of the Match.
Harmer finished the match with 8 wickets for 51 runs, with 4 wickets in each innings. His match figures were 4 for 30 and 4 for 21. The win was South Africa’s first Test win in India in 15 years, since 2010.
India also lost in Kolkata for the first time since 2012. The defeat ended a long home run at Eden Gardens. Shubman Gill missed the match, and India batted without its Test captain.
2nd Test, Barsapara, Guwahati, November 22, 2025
South Africa scored 489 all out in 151.1 overs in the first innings. Senuran Muthusamy scored 109, and Marco Jansen scored 93. The total was the highest of the series by a wide margin.
India replied with 201 all out, then scored 140 all out in the fourth innings. South Africa won by 408 runs, one of the largest Test wins in the fixture. The series ended 2-0 to South Africa.
Series result changed the Test head-to-head count. South Africa moved from 18 Test wins to 20 Test wins in the most recent head-to-head tables. India stayed on 16 Test wins, with 10 draws in the fixture.
November-December 2025 ODI Series: India Won 2-1
ODI series in the same tour went the other way. India won the series 2-1 after losing the Test series 2-0. The contrast shows how different formats favour different strengths in the same squads.
1st ODI, November 30, 2025: India 349 for 8 Beat South Africa 332
India batted first and scored 349 for 8 in 50 overs. Virat Kohli scored 135 off 120 balls, with 11 fours and 7 sixes. Rohit Sharma scored 57, and KL Rahul scored 60.
South Africa replied with 332 all out in 49.2 overs. Matthew Breetzke scored 72, Marco Jansen scored 70 off 39 balls, and Corbin Bosch scored 67. Kuldeep Yadav took key wickets in the middle overs.
Margin was 17 runs, which is close in a 50 over match. India defended 349 with disciplined death bowling from Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna. The win gave India a 1-0 lead in the three match series.
Kohli innings was the highlight of the ODI series opener. His 135 came at a strike rate of 112.50 and included clean hitting against pace and spin. The innings set the platform for India’s total above 340.
Jansen nearly stole the match for South Africa with 70 off 39 balls. His hitting included 8 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 179.48. Bosch supported him with 67 off 51 balls, but the chase fell short.
2nd ODI, December 3, 2025: South Africa 362 for 6 Beat India 358 for 5 by 4 Wickets
Raipur hosted one of the best ODI chases in this rivalry. The match was the 2nd ODI at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. South Africa won the toss and chose to field first.
India batted first and scored 358 for 5 in 50 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 105 off 83 balls, with 12 fours and 2 sixes, for his maiden ODI hundred. Virat Kohli scored 102 off 93 balls, with 7 fours and 2 sixes, for his 53rd ODI hundred. KL Rahul finished unbeaten on 66 off 43 balls.
South Africa replied with 362 for 6 in 49.2 overs. Aiden Markram scored 110 off 98 balls, with 10 fours and 4 sixes, and was named Player of the Match. Matthew Breetzke scored 68 off 64 balls, and Dewald Brevis scored 54 off 34 balls. Corbin Bosch finished unbeaten on 29 off 15 balls.
Markram reached his hundred off 88 balls. He built a 101-run stand with captain Temba Bavuma and a 70-run stand with Breetzke. He was dropped on 53 by Yashasvi Jaiswal and made India pay in full.
Chase of 359 was a record for South Africa in several ways. It was South Africa’s third-highest ODI chase, and it equalled the joint-highest score ever chased against India in ODIs, alongside Australia’s pursuit in Mohali in 2019.
Margin was 4 wickets with 4 balls to spare. The win levelled the three-match series at 1-1 and set up the decider on December 6, 2025, in Visakhapatnam. India went on to win the series 2-1.

| Harshit Rana (IND) | 1 wicket (Markram) |
Fall of wickets in the chase tells the story. South Africa lost de Kock at 26, Bavuma at 127, and Markram at 197. Brevis fell at 289, but Bosch held his nerve to finish the chase.
Three centuries were scored in this one match: Gaikwad 105, Kohli 102, and Markram 110. That is rare in any ODI, and it is why this scorecard is one of the most searched in the rivalry.

T20 World Cup Final 2024: India Won by 7 Runs
Final on June 29, 2024 at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados was the most famous India vs South Africa match. India won by 7 runs and lifted its second Men’s T20 World Cup title. The match is still the first scorecard many readers search for.
India batted first and scored 176 for 7 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli scored 76 off 59 balls, with 6 fours and 2 sixes. Axar Patel scored 47, and Shivam Dube scored 27.
South Africa chased 177 and finished on 169 for 8 in 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen scored 52 off 27 balls, and David Miller scored 21. Hardik Pandya took 3 for 20, and Jasprit Bumrah took 2 for 18.
| Team | Score | Top scorer | Best bowler (opposition) |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | 176/7 (20 ov) | Virat Kohli 76 (59) | Keshav Maharaj 2 wickets, Anrich Nortje 2 wickets |
| South Africa | 169/8 (20 ov) | Heinrich Klaasen 52 (27) | Hardik Pandya 3/20, Jasprit Bumrah 2/18 |
Turning point came when South Africa needed 30 off 30 balls with Klaasen set. Bumrah bowled two tight overs and removed Klaasen, then Pandya defended 16 in the final over. Suryakumar Yadav took a famous catch at the boundary to dismiss Miller.
Kohli was Player of the Match for 76 off 59 balls. He announced his T20I retirement after the final, which added emotion to the win. Bumrah was Player of the Tournament for his bowling across the event.
Result ended a 17 year wait for India in T20 World Cups. India had last won the title in 2007, and South Africa had never won a Men’s T20 World Cup. Both teams had reached the final without losing a match.
ODI World Cup 2023: India Won by 243 Runs
League match on November 5, 2023 was the most one-sided ODI in the fixture. India scored 326 for 5 in 50 overs, and South Africa were bowled out for 83 in 27.1 overs. India won by 243 runs.
Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 101 off 121 balls, with 10 fours. Shreyas Iyer scored 77 off 87 balls, and Ravindra Jadeja scored an unbeaten 29 off 15 balls. The total proved far beyond South Africa’s reach.
South Africa’s reply collapsed against spin and pace alike. Ravindra Jadeja took 5 for 33 in 9 overs, and Kuldeep Yadav took 2 for 7. The 243 run margin remains the largest ODI win in the fixture by runs.
Context matters for that match, because both teams had already reached the semi-finals. India finished the league stage unbeaten, while South Africa finished second. The result showed the gap between the teams on that day, not the whole rivalry.
India vs South Africa Head-to-Head: Tests, ODIs, T20Is
Head-to-head totals differ across websites, so readers need the cutoff date. The tables below show two published totals, both labelled by source and date. Do not merge them into one number, because they count different match sets.
| Format | Matches | India won | South Africa won | Draw / No result | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 44 | 16 | 18 | 10 draws | Eastern Herald, Sep 2026 |
| ODIs | 97 | 42 | 52 | 3 no result | Eastern Herald, Sep 2026 |
| T20Is | 35 | 21 | 13 | 1 no result | Eastern Herald, Sep 2026 |
| All formats | 176 | 79 | 83 | 14 | Eastern Herald, Sep 2026 |
| Format | Matches | India won | South Africa won | Draw / No result | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 46 | 16 | 20 | 10 draws | SportsDunia / CricketCounsel, 2025 data |
| ODIs | 97 | 42 | 52 | 3 no result | SportsDunia / CricketCounsel, 2025 data |
| T20Is | 32 | 19 | 12 | 1 no result | SportsDunia, 2025 data |
| All formats | 175 | 77 | 84 | 14 | SportsDunia, 2025 data |
Difference in Tests is easy to explain. The first table counts 44 Tests, while the second counts 46 Tests. The two extra Tests are the November 2025 matches in Kolkata and Guwahati, both won by South Africa. That change moves South Africa from 18 Test wins to 20 Test wins.
Difference in T20Is comes from cutoff dates and match classification. One table counts 35 T20Is with 21 India wins, while the other counts 32 T20Is with 19 India wins. The gap covers the February 2026 T20 World Cup matches and the December 2025 T20I series, plus whether warm-up games are counted.
Warm-up games must never count as T20Is. The February 4, 2026 match was a warm-up with retired-out batters, not a full international. Any total that includes warm-ups will overstate the T20I count by at least one match.
Best practice for readers is to check ESPNcricinfo Statsguru for the current total on the day they read the page. Statsguru lets users filter by format, venue, and date range. The figures on this page are labelled snapshots, not live totals.
Overall picture stays the same in both tables. South Africa leads in Tests and ODIs, while India leads in T20Is. South Africa leads overall by a small margin, because its ODI and Test leads outweigh India’s T20I lead.
Tests: South Africa Leads
Tests favour South Africa by 20 wins to 16, with 10 draws in the latest table. The first Test between the teams was in November 1992, and South Africa won the early series. India improved at home over time, but South Africa’s 2025 sweep widened the gap again.
Home advantage matters less in this fixture than in many rivalries. South Africa won Tests in India in 2000, 2008, 2010, and 2025. India has also won Tests in South Africa, though less often than at home.
Draws are common in the Test fixture, with 10 draws in 46 matches. Rain, slow pitches, and strong batting line-ups have all produced draws. The 2025 series had no draws, because both matches finished inside four days.
ODIs: South Africa Leads
ODIs favour South Africa by 52 wins to 42, with 3 no results in 97 matches. The first ODI was in November 1991, when South Africa returned to international cricket. India won that first meeting, but South Africa built a lead over the next three decades.
Recent ODIs have been closer than the overall total suggests. India won the November-December 2025 series 2-1, and India won the 2023 World Cup meeting by 243 runs. South Africa’s lead comes from strong results in the 1990s and 2000s.
World Cup ODIs deserve a separate note, because tournament pressure changes both teams. India won the 2023 league match by a huge margin, while South Africa won earlier World Cup meetings in 1992, 1999, and 2011. Tournament history is more balanced than the bilateral ODI total.
T20Is: India Leads
T20Is favour India, with 19 to 21 wins against 12 to 13 for South Africa, depending on the cutoff. The first T20I was in December 2006, and India won that match. India also won the 2024 World Cup Final and the 2022 home series.
South Africa’s T20I wins include the February 2026 Super 8 match by 76 runs. That result cut India’s lead and showed South Africa’s power hitting depth. Miller, Brevis, and Stubbs all scored at strike rates above 150 in that match.
Format split is the most useful fact for new readers. South Africa leads the long formats, India leads the short format, and no team dominates all three. The rivalry stays competitive because each format rewards different skills.
Head-to-Head by Venue and in ICC Tournaments
Venue splits add useful context to the overall totals. India wins more often at home in limited overs cricket, while South Africa wins more often at home in Tests. Neutral venues in ICC events have produced the most famous matches in the fixture.
India at home has been strong in ODIs and T20Is, but the November 2025 Test series broke that pattern. South Africa won both Tests in India, including a low scoring match in Kolkata. Home advantage did not save India on turning pitches.
South Africa at home has been strong in Tests, with pace friendly pitches at Centurion, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. India has won Tests in South Africa, but never a full Test series there. The Test series in South Africa is still an unmet goal for India.
Neutral venues have hosted the biggest matches, including the 2024 Final in Barbados and the 2026 Super 8 in Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad is technically an India home venue, but a World Cup Super 8 match carries neutral tournament pressure. The 2024 Final was a true neutral venue.
ICC tournament meetings favoured India in recent years before Ahmedabad. India won the 2024 T20 World Cup Final and the 2023 ODI World Cup league match. South Africa answered with the 2026 Super 8 win, which cut India’s recent tournament run.
Tournament record matters because knockout pressure is different from bilateral pressure. South Africa has a long history of losing ICC knockout matches, while India has won two T20 World Cups. The 2026 Super 8 win does not erase that history, but it shows South Africa can win big tournament games.
Sister rivalries help readers place this fixture in context. The India national cricket team vs Australian men’s cricket team timeline covers a longer and more Test focused rivalry. The India vs South Africa timeline is shorter, starting only in 1991, but it is just as close on the field.
Records: India vs South Africa
Records in the fixture come from head-to-head research and must be labelled by source. The figures below are competitor reported from SportsDunia, CricSA, and CricketCounsel research, and they should be re-checked on ESPNcricinfo Statsguru before publication.

How to Read a Cricket Scorecard
Scorecard reading is simple once the columns are clear. The tables on this page use the same columns as Cricbuzz and ESPNcricinfo. Readers in the United States who are new to cricket can learn the full system in a few minutes.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| R | Runs scored by the batter |
| B | Balls faced by the batter |
| 4s | Number of fours hit |
| 6s | Number of sixes hit |
| SR | Strike rate: runs per 100 balls |
| O | Overs bowled by the bowler |
| M | Maiden overs: overs with no runs conceded |
| W | Wickets taken by the bowler |
| Econ | Economy rate: runs conceded per over |
Dismissal text shows how each batter was out. The format is “c Fielder b Bowler” for a catch, “b Bowler” for bowled, “lbw b Bowler” for leg before wicket, “st Keeper b Bowler” for stumped, and “run out” for a run out. “Not out” means the batter was still batting when the innings ended.
Stumped dismissals need quick footwork from the wicketkeeper. The keeper must remove the bails while the batter is out of the crease after missing the ball. The fastest stumping in cricket page shows how fast elite keepers can complete that skill.
Retired out is rare in full internationals and common in warm-ups. A batter leaves the field by choice so a teammate can bat, and the scorecard records “retired out”. Kishan and Markram both retired out in the February 2026 warm-up, which is why that match is not a T20I.
Fall of wickets shows the team score when each wicket fell. The format “1-10” means the first wicket fell at 10 runs. Readers can see at a glance whether wickets fell in clusters or were spread through the innings.
Extras are runs not scored off the bat. Wides, no balls, leg byes, and byes all count as extras. South Africa conceded 11 extras in Ahmedabad, while India conceded 5 extras in the same match.
Run rate is runs per over, and required run rate is the rate needed to win. India needed 9.40 runs per over at the start of the chase in Ahmedabad. India scored at only 5.89 runs per over and fell far short.
Suspended play and interruptions have their own rules in cricket. Rain, bad light, and other delays can change the target or the overs available. The what does suspended mean in cricket page explains how suspensions work and what happens to the match after a delay.
Laws of cricket govern every dismissal, extra, and innings change on a scorecard. The Marylebone Cricket Club publishes the Laws, and the Laws of Cricket page is the official source for those rules. The ICC adds playing conditions for each tournament on top of the Laws.
What the Latest Result Means
South Africa’s 76 run win in Ahmedabad was a statement result in the Super 8 stage. The win put South Africa in a strong position to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2026. India needed to win its remaining Super 8 games to stay alive.
India entered the Super 8 match as defending champions from 2024. The defeat was India’s biggest by runs in T20 World Cups, which made the loss historic as well as painful. The batting collapse exposed a top order problem under pressure.
South Africa showed depth in both batting and bowling. Miller and Brevis rebuilt the innings, Stubbs finished it, and Jansen and Maharaj shared 7 wickets. The team won without a big score from Markram or de Kock.
India must fix its powerplay batting before the next big match. The top three scored only 15 runs between them in Ahmedabad, and the chase never recovered. Dube fought alone, but one batter cannot win a chase of 188.
Bumrah remains India’s best bowler in all formats, with 3 for 15 in Ahmedabad. His economy rate of 3.75 was far better than any other India bowler. India needs more support for Bumrah from the other end.
Tournament context is available on the official ICC pages. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup hub lists fixtures, results, points tables, and squads for the event. Readers should check that hub for the latest standings after the Super 8 stage.
Full scorecard detail for the latest match is also available on Cricbuzz. The Cricbuzz Super 8 scorecard carries the same batting and bowling figures used on this page. The CricketWorld scorecard gives the same result in a compact table format.
Test context for the November 2025 series is available in the same way. The Cricbuzz 1st Test scorecard carries the full Kolkata figures, including Harmer’s 4 for 21 in the fourth innings. ESPNcricinfo also carries the full scorecard, and its figures were used to cross-check the 2024 Final totals.

How do I read a cricket scorecard?
Read the batting table first for runs, balls, fours, sixes, and strike rate. Then read the bowling table for overs, maidens, runs, wickets, and economy rate. Fall of wickets shows the score at each dismissal.
What does SR mean in a scorecard?
SR means strike rate, which is runs scored per 100 balls faced. A strike rate above 150 is very fast in T20 cricket. Miller’s strike rate of 180.00 in Ahmedabad was the highest among the top five.
What does Econ mean in a scorecard?
Econ means economy rate, which is runs conceded per over bowled. A low economy rate means the bowler was hard to score against. Bumrah’s economy rate of 3.75 in Ahmedabad was the best in the match.
What does retired out mean?
Retired out means a batter leaves the field by choice so a teammate can bat. The scorecard records the batter as retired out, not as not out. Warm-up matches use this rule, while full internationals rarely do.
What is a powerplay in cricket?
Powerplay is the first six overs of a T20 innings, when only two fielders may stand outside the 30 yard circle. Batting teams try to score fast in the powerplay, while bowling teams try to take early wickets. India scored only 31 for 3 in the powerplay in Ahmedabad.
Is the February 4, 2026 warm-up match a full international?
No, the February 4, 2026 match was a warm-up, not a full international. Batters retired out, which does not happen in a normal T20I. Warm-up runs and wickets do not count in official T20I records.
What is the difference between the warm-up scorecard and the Super 8 scorecard?
Warm-up scorecard shows retired-out batters and experimental teams, while the Super 8 scorecard shows a full international with normal dismissals. India won the warm-up by 30 runs, while South Africa won the Super 8 by 76 runs. Only the Super 8 result counts in the tournament.
Where can I watch India vs South Africa highlights?
Highlights are available on the official ICC channels and the rights holders in each country. United States viewers should check Willow TV and the ICC website for legal streams. Avoid unofficial streams, which may be unsafe or illegal.

What is the India vs South Africa women’s scorecard?
Women’s teams also play each other, and their scorecards are separate from the men’s scorecards. South Africa Women beat India Women by 6 wickets on June 21, 2026 at Old Trafford. The England Women vs India Women timeline covers India’s women’s rivalry in the same format.
