RSAW vs IREW Match Prediction & Analysis
This series has already been won by the hosts South Africa Women and all that is left to be decided in the third and final game is whether or not Ireland Women can claim a consolation victory and avoid a whitewash of defeats.
It is fair to say that South Africa Women have been the dominant force in this fixture, leading from the front with the bat in both of the games and they look set to arrive at Willowmoore Park full of confidence once again.
Ireland Women did at least reduce the margin of defeat from 105 runs to 65 runs in the second T20I and they will need to find another level of improvement if they are to be competitive on Wednesday.
TEAMS PREVIEW
South Africa Women Preview
South Africa Women batted with plenty of confidence in the second T20I in Paarl on Sunday and we expect them to carry a similar level of self-belief with the bat into this fixture.
All of the seven batters used returned strike-rates of 116 and above with the powerhouse middle-order trio of Dane van Niekerk, Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon all delivering runs at strike-rates over 200+.
Captain Laura Wolvaardt is a top performer at all levels and opener Faye Tunnicliffe hit a half-century in the second T20I.
With the ball, Chloe Tryon has been very consistent, picking up four wickets across the first two games of the series and she is likely to lead the attack once again.
Ireland Women Preview
Winning a toss would be helpful for Ireland Women but so far they have found themselves to be under the required level to go toe to toe with this strong South Africa Women side.
It has not all been bad news for the tourists though and even if they do go down 3-0 there will be plenty of positives to take with them back home.
Aimee Maguire, their 19 year old left-arm spinner took three wickets in Paarl on Sunday and could use that confidence to be a real threat once again on Wednesday.
With the bat, Leah Paul has been the most consistent of the Ireland Women batters and Orla Prendergast also impressed on Sunday with an unbeaten half-century.
Ireland Women could yet pull off a shock if the stars align!
Weather Conditions
This game could yet fall victim to the weather and there will be plenty of cloud cover and in all likelihood plenty of rain fall in the hours leading up to the game. Expect high humidity during the playing hours.
RSAW vs IREW Pitch Report
Willowmoore Park remains one of the most beautiful grounds in South Africa and also one of the most intriguing as it allows the bowlers to always be in the game. A par total will be no higher than 165.
Toss: To Bat
South Africa Women have won in Cape Town and in Paarl by winning the toss and choosing to bat first so we predict that both captains will want to do the same ahead of this clash.
