    Ranking the top T20I clashes between India and South Africa
  • Hosts India are set to lock horns against the mighty South Africans in a three-match T20I series, starting Sunday.

    Notably, India are yet to win a T20I against Proteas at home.

    With lots at stake, let us rank their best T20I clashes to date.

    In reply, India banked upon a cameo by Dinesh Karthik (31*), as they won by six wickets, with a ball to spare, in a thrilling encounter.
