THE LOWDOWN

SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN

  • South Africa bounced back really well from their damaging loss against Sri Lanka, by comprehensively overcoming New Zealand by 65 runs in Paarl.
  • The Proteas’ semi-final qualification hopes are still very much alive on the back of this victory, with them currently trailing Sri Lanka by two points.

AUSTRALIA WOMEN

  • Australia boasts a 100% record so far in the group with a big net-run-rate advantage as well, so a win here would guarantee their place in the semi-finals.
  • The latest dominating Australian victory came against Sri Lanka, by a margin of ten wickets as they chased down a target of 113 without either opener being dismissed.

THE PREDICTION

South Africa will have the crowd behind them and they also have momentum following that critical win against New Zealand. However, the skill, class and cutting edge of Australia is a scary prospect. Meg Lanning’s team are an unrelenting machine who are not only serial winners, but are currently brushing aside rival nations in a way that champions do. It’s hard to see South Africa being able to match them and another victory for Australia seems very much on the cards.
