ICC Women's CWC 2022 | SA-W vs ENG-W | Match 13, Preview, Prediction, Fantasy XI

Arjun Bhalla

Games are coming thick and fast in the 12th edition of the ICC Women's CWC as we are heading towards another blockbuster of a game. In match number 13, South Africa Women are clashing against England Women at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on March 14, 2022.


Both the teams are having an opposite World Cup so far. The Proteas Women have won both their games after toiling hard and are in third place with four points to their name. On the other hand, England have had a rough start to the tournament that nobody expected. Losing two close matches, they are now in sixth place and will hope to get off the mark in the game against South Africa.


The Proteas had fought for the wins against the two Asian sides so far. The previous match against Pakistan Women went down to the wire as the Proteas side held their nerve to win in a last-over thriller.


Laura Wolvaardt (75) and skipper Sune Luus (62) scored fifties to propel them to a respectable total, but it was below par. Shabnim Ismail, Marizanne Kapp, and Ayabonga Khaka were the seamers who took the bulk of the wickets against Pakistan. Notably, Ismail bowled a fantastic last over to win the game for her side by six runs.


On the other hand, the defending champions wouldn't have guessed that they would struggle to put points on the board. They lost both their games after giving a tough fight to their opponents. On both occasions, they lost it after having it in their kitty. They will be looking to make a strong comeback and tell the world that they are not bowing down without a fight.


Heather Knight needs to play a captain's innings alongside Natalie Sciver, who is in prime form. They will expect their openers, Tammy Beaumont and Lauren Winfield Hill, to set a platform for the middle-order batters. Katherine Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone need to be on top of their game to restrict their opposition. Ecclestone has done it in the previous game after picking up three Windies wickets.


"Our girls are enjoying New Zealand. We are playing in Bay Oval for the next couple of matches. Not the start we wanted. I bowled well in the second match but couldn't perform against Australia in the first game. We were in the game till the very end but couldn't win both the games. We are hoping to make a comeback", Sophie Ecclestone said in an interview before the game against South Africa Women.  


These two sides met each other during the warm-up game, where the South Africa Women's side skittled out cheaply as England chased the total of 139 with ease.

IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2 - Rishabh Pant breaks another record

Indian batsman-keeper Rishabh Pant became the fastest half centurion for India in the longest format of the game after reaching 50 runs in just 28 balls. On a pitch where most of the players struggled to read turn and bounce, Pant went about his usual belligerence on Sunday, 13 March, entertaining the Bangalore crowd. Walking into bat after the dismissal of Hanuma Vihari, Pant attacked from word go, hitting the second ball for a huge six. He used his lightning quick feet to get upto the pitch of the ball and swung his blade as hard as he possibly could. The departure of Kohli (13 off 16) did not seem to dent his confidence as he became more aggressive accompanying his former Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer on the pitch. He drilled an offspinning delivery from Praveen Jayawickrama for four through the extra cover for four to bring up his feat in 28 balls. However, his innings did not last very long after that as he skied a shot straight up in the sky for the Jayawickrama to grab an easy catch in the final ball of the same over. At the time of dismissal, India were 184/5 leading SL by a mammoth 327 runs. The pitch has already shown signs of breaking, with several rough patches forming in the 22 yards. It would be interesting to see if India do declare in the final session today and make Sri Lanka bat under the lights like they did on Day 1 or if they play through the day and put in as many runs as possible before letting the visiting team have a go for the final innings.

ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 | Australia go top of the table bullying New Zealand into submission

Australia are looking leagues above the rest of the competition three games in the tournament after they managed to clinch their third win on a trot in the ICC Women’s World Cup. Playing at Wellington, Australia routed hosts New Zealand like they were nothing, to go top of the table on Sunday, 13 March. Ellyse Perry was star of show on the day, scoring a brilliant 68 runs to rescue Australia from a precarious start and then returning to pick one wicket from her 5 overs. A victory of 141 runs after scoring 269 in the first innings sounds like a massive win, and it surely is, but the day did not start like that for the Australians. New Zealand had chosen to bowl first and wanted to use the conditions to take a couple of early wickets. And they did, by picking up three Australian batters at the 16 over mark. First it was Alyssa Healy who departed at 15 off 31 balls and then Meg Lanning walked off adding just 5 runs to the scoreboard. While their struggle did not last for long, opener Rachel Haynes got served with an absolute beauty by Lea Tahuhu from around the wicket angle, clipping her off stump with an outswinger. At three-down, Australia needed a big partnership to come back into the game. And that’s when Australia’s deep batting line-up came into play. Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath made important contributions to the scoreboard and made sure that they stabilised Australia with a rebuilding act. Perry was constant among the partnerships with the other two batters and held the innings through as Australia progressed slowly. She added 57 off 84 balls alongside Mooney before the latter got played on while trying to dab Amelia Kerr for a single. At that time, Australia were 113/4 in 29/.1 overs having recovered from their debacle of 56/3. After Mooney’s departure, McGrath started the early aggression, starting to hit at a run-a-ball pace. The pair added 101 off 96 balls with Perry taking her pace up as well, before getting out in the 45th over. But by that time, Perry and McGrath were already brought Australia into a rapid pace of affairs after taking 20 runs off the 41st over. Perry was dismissed at 68 off 86 balls against an insane catch by Maddy Green at straight on where she ran to her left and grabbed the ball in front of the sightscreen with a full-stretch dive. With just 5 overs remaining, Ashleigh Gardner played a blizzard innings of 48 of 18 balls which included 4 fours and 4 sixes. Gardner’s innings completely shifted the momentum of the game as Australia managed to put up a respectable total of 269 despite McGrath’s wicket in the 47th over when she was at 57 off 56 balls. Returning to bowl, Australia reducing them to 35/5 by the 12th over. Lots of factors played key in getting NZ to where they were by that time, but it all started with Ellyse Perry and her cricketing brain. NZ had a decent start scoring 22 runs in the first 4 overs, but Perry decide to come wide of the wicket and push one ball through into Sophie Devine. The NZ batter missed her flicked and got cleaned up by the all-rounder affecting a collapse. The second bit was the catching. Anyone who has watched NZ in the recent times knows that Amelia Kerr is key to any big batting effort that NZ have. And Australia removed her by a stunning catch in the slip cordon where Mooney threw herself to the right and picked up a stunning low catch after Kerr decide to edge one against an away swinger. From there it was just a matter of time before NZ folded, and to Australia’s credit they kept at it throughout the innings. They kept their lines tight and either induced LBWs or edges throughout the innings. Only Amy Satterthwaite showed some resistance with her 67-ball 44, but that only stretched the game a little longer, as she saw no support from the other end. She fell while trying to chip Gardner and found McGrath at extra cover. She was the penultimate wicket to fall in the 29th over and NZ only survived one over after that. Ellyse Perry was adjudged the man of the match for her rebuilding effort with the bat and affecting the start of the collapse in the NZ innings.

IND vs SL | Bumrah takes first fifer in India; visitors skittled out for 109

Indian paceman Jasprit Bumrah took his first ever 5-wicket haul in his home conditions on day 2 of the second Test match between India and Sri Lanka. The Bangalore crowd were treated with Bumrah’s vicious best second day on a trot as the bowler banged in two vicious short balls and dismissed Lasith Embuldeniya and Niroshan Dickwella early in the day. Bumrah found success using the deadly combination of yorkers and short balls to make sure that SL found no chance to take the game away. He changed to this tactic after being hit for two boundaries in the first over of the game, when Dickwella tapped two of his length deliveries for boundary. Alongside Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin picked two wickets of Suranga Lakmal and Vishwa Fernando - both of which came with the carrom ball. Earlier on Day 1, India attacked Sri Lanka ruthlessly under the lights, bullying the top order who had no clue about how to deal with the swing that Bumrah and Mohammad Shami had been extracting with the new ball. At the time when India came into bowl, it seemed like there would be no help for the pacers in the Bengaluru track, which had started to turn square and show inconsistent bounce in the second session itself. However, Bumrah and Shami did exceedingly well to remove 6 wickets at the end of day's play for 86 runs. Sri Lanka only managed to add 23 runs to their overnight total and currently are 143 runs behind the Indian target from first innings.
