South Africa will play three ODIs and five T20Is against the White Ferns. The matches will be played across five cities from 24 September to 15 October.

The ODI series will be of particular importance as it forms a crucial part of the ICC Women's Championship 2022-25 qualification journey ahead of the next 50-over World Cup.

The three ODI games will be played in Potchefstroom (24 September), Pietermaritzburg (28 September) and Durban (1 October).

The final ODI at Kingsmead will add additional significance as a Black Day match to signal the fight against gender-based violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality. Players from both teams will don black armbands and their respective black kits as a symbol of solidarity and support for the cause.

The T20I series will be played at Buffalo Park in East London and Willowmoore Park in Benoni from 6-15 October.

The series will serve as preparation for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, which will be held in Bangladesh 12 months later.
