Cricket South Africa have confirmed the itinerary for Australia's three-match Twenty20 tour to the country in March that will serve as a warm-up for the World Cup in India which follows immediately after.
Aaron Finch's men will be playing in Durban on March 4, Johannesburg two days later and finish in Cape Town on March 9. The Twenty20 World Cup starts in India two days after that.
The matches will bring to a close South Africa's home summer that will also see New Zealand and England tour the country.
"The T20 Series against Australia provides for both teams the perfect lead-in to the ICC World Twenty20 which will be played in India immediately afterwards,” CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat said.
The Proteas will play four Tests, all against England, eight one-day internationals and seven Twenty20 matches during their home season, which starts with the visit of the New Zealanders for a three-match ODI tour in August.
