Teams with best T20I head-to-head records

#5 South Africa against New Zealand (11/15 Wins)

South Africa are one of two teams to have played 100 T20Is

South Africa have generally done well against New Zealand in all formats. They have won 25 out of 45 Tests and 41 out of 70 ODIs against the Blackcaps. Their fine form extends to the shortest format as well where they have won 11 out of 15 T20Is.

South Africa and New Zealand played the 3rd T20I in the history of International Twenty20 cricket, in October 2005, with the Kiwis coming out on top after chasing down 133. But that was the only T20 series New Zealand managed to win against the Proteas. Moreover, the Proteas are unbeaten against the Blackcaps in World T20s, winning all four encounters (in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2014).

After New Zealand’s win in 2005, South Africa won four consecutive games against them (out of which three came in World T20s). Out of the four wins that New Zealand have against South Africa, two of them came in 2012.
