These upcoming T20Is mark the final competitive games for South Africa before they must finalize their squad for the T20 World Cup. They’re scheduled to play three matches in the West Indies just before the tournament begins. India, on the other hand, have these matches and another series against Afghanistan in January before the T20 World Cup kicks off. This makes it crucial for both teams to figure out their best combinations. However, they will also consider performances in T20 leagues like the SA20 and IPL, where their key players often showcase their skills.
