Both teams will subsequently travel to Chennai for a one-off Test match at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium between June 28 and July 1. While the Test match was not originally a part of the FTP, the BCCI and CSA incorporated it into the tour in a bid to promote women’s Tests.

The Chennai-based venue will then host a series of three T20I matches, set to be played on July 5, July 7 and July 9 respectively between the two sides. Here is a look at India women’s entire schedule for the forthcoming all-format series against South Africa Women:
