Ahead of the tour, India's Mithali Raj retired from WT20I cricket, to focus on the 50-over format in the run-up to the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup.[5] South Africa's captain, Dane van Niekerk, missed the series due to injury, with Suné Luus leading the team in her absence.[6]
India had initially won the WT20I series, after a win in the fourth match gave them an unassailable lead.[7] India had also won the first match, with the next two fixtures abandoned due to rain.[8] However, on 2 October 2019, an extra WT20I match was added to the schedule.[9][10] India won the fifth WT20I match by five wickets, to confirm their series victory.[11] South Africa won the sixth and final WT20I match by 105 runs, with India winning the series 3–1.[12]
In the WODI series, India won the first two matches to take an unassailable lead.[13] India also won the final WODI match, by six runs, winning the series 3–0.[14]
