SA-W vs NZ-W, Third ODI: Cricket Fantasy Tips and Teams (Source: X)
South Africa Women (SA-W) and New Zealand Women (NZ-W) will be squaring off against one another in the third WODI of the ongoing three-match series. The hosts have already clinched the series 2-0 at the moment and will be in quest of a whitewash in Kingsmead, Durban.
The first WODI saw an intense bat and ball clash between both sides. The White Ferns were 55/5 at the start but the 200-run threshold was passed courtesy of Brooke Halliday and Hanah Rowe's 117-run stand. Chasing a target of 236, Proteas Women captain Laura Wolvaardt got off to a strong start, but the middle order collapsed abruptly. Subsequently, the duo of Nadine de Klerk and Chloe Tryon rose to the occasion with outstanding half-centuries, paving the way for a chase.

Sune Luus scored a fifty and Marizanne Kapp's 45* off 49 balls helped the home side go past the finishing line smoothly.
