The South Africa women's cricket team toured India in June and July 2024 to play the India women's cricket team.[1][2] The tour consisted of one Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[3][4] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5] The T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournament,[6] and India's preparation for the 2024 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.[7] In May 2024, BCCI confirmed the fixtures for the tour.[8][9]
