Team India has already defeated New Zealand in a five-match T20 International series:
Team India recently played a three-match T20 International series against New Zealand. They managed to win the series 4-1. Team India secured the series by winning the first three matches. They faced a defeat in the fourth match due to some experimentation, but the team ended the series on a high note by winning the last match.
Meanwhile, in the India vs. South Africa warm-up match, all eyes will be on who the opening pair for the Indian team will be. Will it be Sanju Samson with Abhishek Sharma, or will Ishan Kishan be given this responsibility? In the series against New Zealand, while Sanju Samson failed to perform despite getting continuous opportunities, Ishan Kishan batted brilliantly at number three and even managed to score a century.
