News

South Africa Women and England Women are set to face each other in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday at Buffalo Park, East London.

South Africa Women, under the leadership of Laura Wolvaardt, have been in powerful form as they recently finished as the runner-up at the T20I World Cup 2024, showcasing significant growth in all formats. Putting that disappointment aside, South Africa Women would hope to get back to winning times. Still, South Africa's recent performances in the bilateral series have been promising, and they will be looking to carry that momentum into this series.

England Women, led by the experienced Heather Knight, are one of the most challenging teams, but they had a poor run at the T20I World Cup, failing to even reach the knockout stage. However, they too would eye a strong comeback and rely on the power-hitting abilities of Danni Wyatt and Sophia Dunkley. 

England will be focused on restoring their dominance in T20I cricket. This series offers a perfect opportunity to regain form and confidence as they set their sights on upcoming assignments.
