    IND vs SA T20 at Barsapara stadium in Guwahati to be played on October 2
    Earlier in January 2020, India was scheduled to play at Barsapara stadium against Sri Lanka in a T20I match which was abandoned due to rain and poor playing conditions.

    Digital Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on August 3 announced the match schedule for the upcoming Paytm Australia and South Africa’s tour of India.

    However, earlier reports claimed that the second T20 match will be played at Barsapara cricket stadium in Guwahati on October 1, but the BCCI press release on August 3 confirmed that Barsapara stadium in Guwahati will be one of the hosts for the much-awaited T20I series, which will be played on October 2, just ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia.

    India’s international home season 2022–23 will start with a three-match T20I series against Australia in September and will be followed by a three-match T20I and ODI series against South Africa.

    Mohali will host the first T20I against Australia, with Nagpur and Hyderabad hosting the second and third, respectively.

    On the other hand, the home series against South Africa will begin in Thiruvananthapuram. The second T20I will be played in Guwahati on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti, to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary, followed by the final T20I in Indore.

    Then the game will shift to Lucknow on October 6 where the ODI series will get underway. Ranchi and Delhi will host the second and third ODIs, respectively.
