RSAW vs ENGW – T20 WC – Team Previews

South Africa Women

South Africa put up an impressive fight against England in the semifinals, but they will need a flawless performance to overcome the dominant Australian team, who have won the Women’s T20 World Cup five times and are in their seventh successive final.

South Africa has made it to their first-ever ICC tournament final and their entire team showed great form on Friday in front of their home crowd at the Newlands Cricket Ground. Whether it was Marizanne Kapp’s quickfire 27 runs off 13 balls or Ayabonga Khaka’s three wickets in the 18th over or Shabnim Ismail’s excellent final over, the team put in a combined effort to earn their spot in the final.

South Africa’s opening pair of Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, who was a former world junior javelin champion, are one of the best pairings in the tournament and both are in top form heading into the final. All-rounder Marizanne Kapp is another crucial player for South Africa, having produced a crucial cameo in the semifinals. Captain Sune Luus is confident in her bowling attack, which includes the express pace duo of Shabnam Ismail and Ayabonga Khaka.

The final will take place at the historic Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town, which is the perfect venue for South Africa to finish their campaign on a high note in front of a supportive home crowd.

Australia Women

Australia’s women’s cricket team is set to play against South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup, and they are strong favorites to win, having never lost to the Proteas before. Ashleigh Gardner has been one of Australia’s key players, with her all-round performances putting her at the top of the tournament wickets table alongside teammate Megan Schutt after Australia’s semi-final win.

Alyssa Healy is another standout player for Australia, having scored two half-centuries so far in the tournament. Beth Mooney has also found her form in recent innings, striking two fifties in her past three matches, making her a player to watch in the final.

In the semi-final against India, Australia initially looked to be in trouble after posting 174 runs on the board, as the Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues batted confidently. However, an unfortunate dismissal of both batters sparked a comeback for the five-time champions, thanks to some incredible fielding efforts.

As they prepare to defend their title, Australia will need to continue playing at the top of their game, as South Africa will be a tough opponent in the final. The Proteas will be looking to capitalize on their home ground advantage at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town and put an end to Australia’s winning streak against them.

The Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town is known for assisting spin bowlers, but the semi-final between South Africa and England saw seamers coming out on top. This gives the Proteas an added advantage heading into the World Cup final against Australia, since they have some of the best pace bowlers in the tournament.
