South Africa tour of New Zealand 2026

Mar 15, 2026 - Mar 25, 2026 · Format：T20I · Matches 5 · Teams 2

The South Africa tour of New Zealand 2026 is a five-match T20I series scheduled from March 15 to 25, featuring matches at venues across Mount Maunganui, Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Keshav Maharaj leads a youthful South African squad featuring five uncapped players, while Mitchell Santner captains New Zealand for the first three matches before Tom Latham takes over for the final two.

This historic tour is played as double-headers alongside the South Africa women's team, marking the first bilateral series where both senior national sides feature together. The series provides an opportunity for emerging talents from both nations to stake their claim in international cricket following the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
