# South Africa women's cricket team in New Zealand in 2019–20

The South Africa women's cricket team played the New Zealand women's cricket team in January and February 2020. The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs), which formed part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship, and five Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.
South Africa won the first two WODI matches to take an unassailable lead in the series. South Africa won the third and final WODI match by six wickets, to take the series 3–0.
