WIW vs RSAW Match Prediction & Analysis
After winning the ODI series 2-1, SA Women are gearing up for yet another series win against the hosts in T20Is. WI Women will play against them at Three Ws Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on 22nd June from 11:30 pm onwards. WI Women now have four losses in a row in T20Is.
In the first T20I, SA scored 183 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. ODI seriesβ leading run scorer Tanzim Brits scored an unbeaten 98 runs off just 63 balls. Jahzara Claxton picked up three wickets for the WI Women. Put in to bat first, South Africa faced early setbacks as skipper Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp fell cheaply to Claxton within the first five overs. Despite the shaky start, they managed 44 for 2 at the end of the powerplay. But from there, Tazmin Brits and Nadine de Klerk shifted gears. The duo stitched together a quickfire 71-run stand for the third wicket in just over six overs, with Brits doing most of the damage, smashing 42 of those runs in an aggressive counterattack.
Chasing 184, West Indies came out with intent and scored briskly, putting up 47 in the powerplayβbetter than South Africaβs start. But the runs came at a cost. They lost wickets in clusters, including the crucial one of skipper Hayley Matthews, and by the eighth over, they were already five down and in deep trouble. Chinelle Henry and Zaida James Glasgow tried to revive the innings with a spirited 81-run partnership for the sixth wicket, but the damage had already been done. The chase had slipped too far out of reach, and their late fight wasnβt enough to change the outcome. WI Women lost the game by 50 runs.
