𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN’S𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : 09 July 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2024 INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN’S MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS India Women have been tested by the visitors in the T20I series so far. The hosts were on top throughout this tour winning the ODI series 3-0 and the Test by 10 wickets. However, even after winning the toss in both T20Is, the hosts couldn’t get what they would have wanted. South Africa Women posted some very competitive totals on both occasions. The 2nd T20I was washed out after 1st innings. The visitors have a real chance of winning the series. They have enjoyed the pitch conditions so far with their batters delivering pretty impactful knocks at all key positions. However, this pitch has traditionally helped the spinners but in recent IPL editions was curated in such a way that we’d have high-scoring encounters. After two outings here, it needs to be seen whether the pitch continues to offer pace and bounce and slows down. India Women India need a strong comeback from their bowlers if they bowl first in this match as well. They’ve had a few good performances but their overall bowling effort has been quite underwhelming. In the 1st T20I, they struggled to find a breakthrough after the fall of the 1st wicket in the 8th Over. While the hosts were better than that in the next match, finding regular breakthroughs, they continued to be expensive in the death overs. Deepthi Sharma, Radha Yadav, and Pooja Vastrakar are the key bowlers in this squad to watch out for. These three will need to lead the wicket-taking efforts and ensure India are on top of the game. South Africa Women South Africa Women are looking in great touch with consistent batting performances. Their lower order also came to the party in the last match as they delivered a big finish in the final over of the innings. The openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tamzin Brits have taken an attacking approach to their batting. The skipper scored 22 off 12 in her last outing while Brits has scored 52 of 81 in the two matches so far. Experienced and in-form batters in the top order make the Proteas very strong. In the middle order, they’ve got Marizanne Kapp and Anneke Bosch who haven’t missed a beat.  INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN’S Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will be the venue for this match. It has been a great venue for T20 cricket where both batters and bowlers have found help from the pitch. The average 1st innings score here is 158 runs in T20Is. However, as we saw in recent matches, the team batting first needs to cross the 185-run mark to be on top of the game.
