South Africa Women (SA-W) are set to face England Women (EN-W) in the third T20I of their three-match series at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. The action is slated to commence from 9:30 PM IST onwards on Saturday, November 30. It is worth noting that the visiting Englishwomen won the first two T20Is to render the impending third game a dead-rubber.
South Africa Women
South Africa Women came up short twice against the visiting English Women to concede their three-match T20I series at home with a game to spare. Last month, the Proteas reached the finals of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup, losing out to New Zealand in the title clash. Currently on a three-game losing streak, Laura Wolvaardt and co. need to win the impending dead-rubber in a bid to avoid a series whitewash.
England Women
England Women routed hosts South Africa by four wickets in the first T20I, and secured an emphatic 36-run win in the second to claim the three-match series with a game to spare. Nat Sciver-Brunt unleashed a majestic half-century to orchestrate a clinical run-chase in East London, mere days before Danni Wyatt-Hodge went berserk with her 45-ball 78 in Benoni. With the ball, spinner Sarah Glenn has delivered match-winning spells in both matches so far in the series.
