South Africa Women and West Indies Women square off against each other in Match no.2 of the ongoing Tri-Series on Saturday, January 21st, 2023 at Buffalo Park in East London. The game is scheduled to begin at 18.30 PM (IST) and 15.00 PM (Local time). South Africa suffered a loss in the series opener against India while West Indies will be playing their first game.

The series presents a perfect opportunity for all three sides to gear up as the Women's T20 World Cup is hardly a few days away with the marquee tournament set to be staged next month from February 10 in the Rainbow nation itself. The home side would be looking to bounce back and claim their first victory of the series while the Caribbean team would hope to start on a winning note.

Before the game starts, let us look at the important stats, best player picks, and the best predicted teams for the fantasy contests of the match.

Ground Stats: Buffalo Park, East London

The 22-yards should be a good one for batting while new-ball bowlers might receive some help from the pitch. The Proteas have a bad record at the venue as they played two T20 internationals in East London, both against India, and they lost both of them in 2018 and in the ongoing Tri-Series.
