RSAW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa Women will take on England Women in the Only Test of England Women’s tour of South Africa at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, on 15 December. The last time these two teams faced each other was back in 2022. That Test resulted in a draw. South Africa and England Women’s team are set for a rare encounter in Test Cricket. While South African Women are playing at home, England Women are yet to lose to South African Women home or away. Can England Women continue the unbeaten record against South African Women away from home? TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview When it comes to Women’s cricket, Test cricket is a very rare occurrence. Rarer so for South Africa Women as they have played just 5 Tests since 2007 when they defeated Netherlands Women. In the four Tests after that win, South Africa Women have lost three and drew one Test, that too against England Women. South Africa Women’s previous match against England Women ended in a draw. It was played back in 2022 when South of England Women won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first. Marizanne Kapp scored a memorable 150-run innings, helping South Africa Women reach 284 in the first innings. The rest of the batters could not score much. As many as five South African batters were dismissed on single digit. After England Women amassed 417 for 8 declared in 120 overs, South Africa Women managed 181 for 5 in their second innings, thus drawing the Test. England Preview England Women are a tough team to beat. They have drawn 5 and won 1 game in their last 10 matches. However, their last win came more than 10 years ago against Australia at Wackau. They defeated the Australian Women team by 61 runs. Having said that, they have a dominating record against South Africa winning 1 of the 3 Tests in 21st century while drawing the other two.  Although the previous Test against South Africa Women ended in a draw, England Women were always in the dominating position. Responding to 284 made by South Africa Women in the first innings, England Women scored 417 for 8 declared. They had about 70 hours to get South Africa all out and win the game by an innings but they could not do that. Kate Cross took four wickets for them in the first innings while in the second innings Anneke Bosch took 3 wickets.  Weather Conditions It is expected to be very hot. The temperature would range between 34Β°C to 17Β°C. While the day will start as sunny, there is some chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. We might lose some game time to thunderstorms, but it should not be a washout. RSAW vs ENGW Pitch Report The venue of the match is Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. It is one of the prominent venues in South Africa. It was established in 1989 and has been home to many Test matches, ODI, and T20 matches. It was also one of the venues for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The venue has a seating capacity of around 20,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat A total of 5 Tests have happened at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein and all ended in outright result. The teams batting first won 3 matches whereas the teams batting second have won 2. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa have sealed the 3-match T20I series with a win in the second outing at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Both games have been high-scoring and the hosts had the upper hand on both occasions. Pakistan looked good with the bat but looked dependent on a couple of players. Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are the only promising batters in this squad. The rest of the lineup including Babar Azam failed to get going. The Proteas will be confident of finishing the series on a winning note. While Reeza Hendricks has found his rhythm at the top with a hundred in the last outing, they have got the reliable Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are leading 2-0 and will be out to finish a clean sweep in Johannesburg. Though it looks like a solid batting lineup overall with key players in great touch, there is one player whose form will be a concern. Matthew Breetzke was out cheaply in both outings at number 3. All eyes will be on him to come good in the 3rd T20I and make a mark for himself. He averages just over 16 and has a strike rate of 122 from 10 T20Is. Rassie van der Dussen was sent down to number 4 after he was out for a duck in the opening game. He found his rhythm in the second match scoring an unbeaten 66 off 38 balls to help South Africa win by 7 wickets while chasing a 207-run target. Pakistan Preview Pakistan need to find other match-winners apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub. Babar Azam was off to a steady start in the second match but failed to convert it into something more significant. Azam isn’t the typical T20 player who can score quick runs and accelerate the pace of the innings. He is expected to anchor the innings from one end and build partnerships with others who come in to bat alongside him. Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are in fine touch and will have their job cut out for them. They need to score big and haven’t got anyone else to rely on at the moment. Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir haven’t looked promising in the middle order though Irfan Khan’s 30 off 16 balls at number 6 will raise hopes for the visitors. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius around the game in Johannesburg. Though there is a rain prediction for the next day, we don’t expect any interruptions during the 3rd T20I between the two sides. RSA vs PAK Pitch Report There is enough help for the batters on this wicket though its dryness might create some inconsistence bounce from a length. There will be pace on offer and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The average 1st innings score in T20Is here is 176 runs. We reckon anything above 185-190 will be a highly competitive total on this pitch. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 14 of the 27 T20Is played at this venue. Though there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first here, we reckon having runs on the board can put the team ahead in the contest. There is plenty of help for the batters and if the team batting first gets to a competitive score, they should have the upper hand in the second innings.

South Africa vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis The opening T20I was an excellent contest between two strong teams in this format and many pundits are expecting this second game of the series to be equally as competitive. Centurion is an excellent venue for any format of cricket and Pakistan have an excellent record here in T20Is so history would suggest that they are in a good position to go level in the series! But if they are to do that, they will need to find a way to tame David Miller and George Linde, both who dominated when at the crease on Tuesday. For the tourists, Shaheen Shah Afridi produced another brilliant bowling display and Mohammad Rizwan starred with the bat, but if they are to take the series to a decider, they will need more contributions from other batters on Friday. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview It was David Miller who shone with the bat in the opening game of the series in Durban but this South Africa T20I side, who went all the way to the T20 World Cup final earlier this year, have plenty of other strong top order batters in their XI. Opening up will be Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen before the impressive Matthew Breetzke, who many are predicting a long and strong international career, will come in at number three. Skipper and keeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen made only 12 in the first game but he is one of the great T20I batters of this generation and few would be surprised to see him top score in this game. Pakistan Preview There were four notable individual performances from Pakistan in the first T20I so even though they lost that game there should still be plenty of confidence in the squad, Those strong showing came from left-arm pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi (3/22), mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed (3/37), captain Mohammad Rizwan (74 runs from 62 balls) and number three batter Saim Ayub (31 runs from 15 balls). Coming to Centurion, Pakistan will be looking to others to step up as well and they are fortunate to have strong depth in this T20I squad. The great Babar Azam made a four-ball duck in the opening fixture and number four Usman Khan is another potential match-winner with the bat. Haris Rauf is another star bowler in this team. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, there is a chance of some rain across what is expected to be a cloudy Friday in Centurion. However, come the evening and this game we are predicting a dry affair! RSA vs PAK Pitch Report This was the venue for a high-scoring 216/6 playing 208/7 last month and it would be a surprise if we did not see over 400 runs again in this fixture. Good pace, good carry and the opportunity to score plenty of runs will be the order of the day. Toss: To Bowl India beat South Africa by batting first in the last T20I here but the previous five games in this format were all won by the team fielding first. Therefore, we are predicting that both captains will arrive at the ground hoping to bat first.

RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis Host South Africa will face Pakistan in the opening match of the T20I series played at Kingsmead Cricket Ground, Durban on Tuesday. Interim captain Heinrich Klaasen will lead the side for the three-match series. The home side will be keen to turn their fortunes around after losing the previous T20I series against India. On the other hand, Pakistan will need to adjust to the conditions and put on a decent show against South Africa. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on openers Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, the middle-order trio of David Miller, Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jan 2024, Reeza Hendricks has topped the batting charts for South Africa in the T20 Format. In 20 innings, Hendricks has accumulated 444 runs at a strike rate of 126.13 with three half-centuries to his name. Pakistan Preview Given the conditions at Durban, the visitors will certainly be keen to play two spinners for this opening clash. In the batting department, the side will be relying on explosive opener Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, captain Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, Salman Agha and power-hitter Irfan Khan to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jun 2024, Usman Khan has showcased decent form for Pakistan in the T20 Format. In three matches, Usman has accumulated 103 runs at a strike rate of 121.17. In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of pace trio of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem to provide early breakthroughs with the new-ball. Abrar Ahmed and Sufyan Muqeem will be two main spinners for this opening game. Weather Conditions With rain expected to take place at the start of the match, the wicket might have something for the bowlers with the new-ball. RSA vs PAK Pitch Report Kingsmead Cricket Ground, Durban is going to host the opening match of the T20I series played between Pakistan and South Africa. Toss: To Bowl Kingsmead Cricket Ground, Durban has been great venue for sides batting second. Since 2012, six matches out of ten played at this venue won by chasing sides.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis The second and final Test of the two-match Test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka is about to commence on December 5 at St George’s Park in Gqebera. South Africa have taken an early 1-0 lead and have in the process, bolstered their chances of making it to their maiden WTC final by crushing the visitors by 233 runs in the Durban Test.  History was made on that day as South Africa were able to overcome their jinx and register their maiden Test win against Sri Lanka in Durban. While both teams are still in contention for a spot in the WTC final, South Africa appear as strong favorites following their monumental win in the first Test.   Head-to-Head Record: South Africa and Sri Lanka share a long yet rich history in Test cricket. In their 31-year-long Test history, South Africa have emerged victorious in 17 out of 32 Tests with Sri Lanka managing to win 9 of them. But in South Africa, the tourists have only managed to win on three occasions since 1998. Furthermore, in their last five Test fixtures, South Africa managed to have the upper hand as well winning 3 out of the last 5 Tests. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South African camp would be brewing in confidence after their famous win in Durban. Not only were they able to bury the ghosts of the 2019 Test defeat (which saw them lose the series), but the hosts have now made a statement with that win making them a force to reckon with in the WTC points table. Marco Jansen was simply unplayable in that match and delivered his career-best Test figures of 7/13 & 4/73 to power SA to a crushing win.  However, the team has been rocked by injury updates as Coetzee and Mulder have both been ruled out for the rest of the summer. Experts estimate that the teenager Kwena Maphaka may get a go in their absence while the management would also be considering either getting Dane Paterson or Senuran Muthusamy to fill the second vacant spot. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka walked into the series with a lot of promise but their poor show with the bat in the first innings has raised questions about their overall resilience as a unit. The Lankan seamers featuring Kumara and the two Fernandos were breathing fire and caused a lot of headaches to the Proteas batters with the new ball.  But when it was their turn to bat, Sri Lanka folded for their lowest-ever Test score of 42-10 with only two batters managing to get to double figures. From that moment, Sri Lanka were playing the catch-up game as SA batted effortlessly in the second innings and mounted a target of 516 which proved way beyond the reach of the visitors. Following their humiliating defeat, Sri Lanka would be forced to make some changes to their lineup. Sadeera Samarawickrama, being a technically astute batter has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka across all three formats and he could be given a green signal.  Weather Conditions We expect partially cloudy weather on all five days of the Test match with little to no rain threat. Temperatures throughout all five days are expected to be at a modest high of 27C but can drop to as low as 19C when the evening approaches. Overall, the weather is going to be warm with wind speed expected to be in the range of 20-35 km/hr.   RSA vs SL Pitch Report The lively deck at St George’s Park offers prodigious assistance to the fast bowlers in the form of sharp pace and bounce. Moreover, the ball also has a tendency to nip around off the seam when the ball is new. As the Test match starts progressing to the latter stages, the natural deterioration starts taking effect as the cracks get longer making batting in the fourth innings a very daunting affair. From a batter’s standpoint, the ball will move around quite a bit both in the air and off the pitch and there will be no easy runs on offer for the most part of the Test. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have a slight edge. Whilst the average first innings score batting first amounts to a healthy 312, the score drops all the way down to 156 in the fourth innings. This highlights the extraordinary difficulty of batting last and keeping this factor in mind, teams should look to bat first and refrain from the possibility of chasing. In the 32 Test matches played at this venue the team batting first won 14 matches, while the team batting second won 13 matches.

Marco Jansen was simply unplayable in that match and delivered his career-best Test figures of 7/13 & 4/73 to power SA to a crushing win.  However, the team has been rocked by injury updates as Coetzee and Mulder have both been ruled out for the rest of the summer. Experts estimate that the teenager Kwena Maphaka may get a go in their absence while the management would also be considering either getting Dane Paterson or Senuran Muthusamy to fill the second vacant spot. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka walked into the series with a lot of promise but their poor show with the bat in the first innings has raised questions about their overall resilience as a unit. The Lankan seamers featuring Kumara and the two Fernandos were breathing fire and caused a lot of headaches to the Proteas batters with the new ball.  But when it was their turn to bat, Sri Lanka folded for their lowest-ever Test score of 42-10 with only two batters managing to get to double figures. From that moment, Sri Lanka were playing the catch-up game as SA batted effortlessly in the second innings and mounted a target of 516 which proved way beyond the reach of the visitors. Following their humiliating defeat, Sri Lanka would be forced to make some changes to their lineup. Sadeera Samarawickrama, being a technically astute batter has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka across all three formats and he could be given a green signal.  Weather Conditions We expect partially cloudy weather on all five days of the Test match with little to no rain threat. Temperatures throughout all five days are expected to be at a modest high of 27C but can drop to as low as 19C when the evening approaches. Overall, the weather is going to be warm with wind speed expected to be in the range of 20-35 km/hr.   RSA vs SL Pitch Report The lively deck at St George’s Park offers prodigious assistance to the fast bowlers in the form of sharp pace and bounce. Moreover, the ball also has a tendency to nip around off the seam when the ball is new. As the Test match starts progressing to the latter stages, the natural deterioration starts taking effect as the cracks get longer making batting in the fourth innings a very daunting affair. From a batter’s standpoint, the ball will move around quite a bit both in the air and off the pitch and there will be no easy runs on offer for the most part of the Test. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have a slight edge. Whilst the average first innings score batting first amounts to a healthy 312, the score drops all the way down to 156 in the fourth innings. This highlights the extraordinary difficulty of batting last and keeping this factor in mind, teams should look to bat first and refrain from the possibility of chasing. In the 32 Test matches played at this venue the team batting first won 14 matches, while the team batting second won 13 matches.

Zimbabwe vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSAW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis Although South Africa Women hosted England Women for three WT20Is last month and lost all three of them, this is a new series and a new format with the score beginning at 0-0! England Women certainly look like a side who mean business and have re-found their mojo after a shocking group stage exit during the Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE. South Africa Women, were unable to replicate their Women’s T20 World Cup form and have reverted to their level away from ICC tournaments where they struggle to keep pace with the teams in the bracket below Australia Women. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview After being outplayed in both disciplines during the WT20I series, South Africa Women will arrive at the Diamond Oval for this day-night WODI needing to find a higher level with the bat and ball in this opener. All-rounder Nadine de Klerk top scored for the hosts during the WT20I series but she only scored 80 runs across the three games and most pundits are pointing towards captain Laura Wolvaardt, who will open the batting and is likely to be key in this first match of the series. England Preview Confidence will be high in the England Women’s squad ahead of this series and they will arguably be even stronger in this series with the arrival of the experienced Tammy Beaumont at the top of the order. She was in exceptional form in international cricket in September and England Women will be hoping the time away from the game has not harmed her after she made scores of 150 not out (WODI), 52 (WODI) and 40 (WT20I) a couple of months ago! But England Women have plenty of depth with bat and ball so even if one of their key players doesn’t deliver there is a good chance someone else with a fine record will do so. With the ball, Sophie Ecclestone will lead the spin attack although Charlie Dean will be a big threat, particularly as she finished the WT20Is as the top wicket taker. Weather Conditions It is expected to be a fine day in terms of the weather in Kimberley on Wednesday. The temperature will top 34 degrees in the early afternoon and, even after the sun goes down and the floodlights are in full flow, the temperature should still be above 25! RSAW vs ENGW Pitch Report The last WODI at this venue saw Sri Lanka post 229 all out before South Africa chased down their target with 7 wickets and 14 balls remaining. It looks like another good batting track with a par score expected to be around 250. Toss: To Bat With the temperature forecast to drop by five or six degrees from the start of the first innings to the start of the second, we predict that both captains will want to bat first in this clash.
