Australia vs South Africa Women Predictions

Australia are the best side in the world and seldom lose. They have an incredible ability to recover from setbacks. I think South Africa will rock Australia in the first innings, but Australia will fight back to claim the win in the second innings.

Australia Women’s Ellyse Perry has scored 30, 22* & 32 in her last 3 innings.
Australia Women’s Beth Mooney has scored 43* & 40 in her last 4 innings.
South Africa Women’s Tazmin Brits has scored 22, 57*, 43 & 42 in her last 5 innings.
South Africa Women’s Laura Wolvaardt has scored 29, 59*, 42 & 40 in her last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The two teams have met 10 times in WT20Is, with Australia winning nine matches and South Africa one. Australia have won four of their last five WT20Is against South Africa… but South Africa picked up their first win over Australia in their second last match against them, which was back in Australia.

Australia Women Form

Australia have won all four matches in this World Cup, and their winning run extends far beyond that.

Grace Harris (40) set the stage for Tahlia McGrath (32 off 26 balls) and Ellyse Perry (32 off 23 balls) to boost Australia to 151/8 off 20 overs.

India put up a great chase, only to fall just nine runs. Annabel Sutherland (2/22, econ 5.50) was the best of the Aussie bowlers.

Australia Women Team News

Australia Women are in good form, although they aren't performing at their ultimate best. In a number of World Cup matches this tournament, they have shown signs of vulnerability, only for one or two players to rise up and save their side.

South Africa Women Form

After losing to England in their second match of the tournament, South Africa went on to beat Scotland and Bangladesh to make it three wins from four.

South Africa restricted Bangladesh to 106/3 off their 20 overs, thanks to brilliant bowling from Nonkululeko Mlaba (1/11, econ 2.75) and Marizanne Kapp (1/10, econ 2.50).

Tazmin Brits played a superb innings of 42 to setup a seven-wicket win with 16 balls to spare.

South Africa Women Team News

South Africa Women are in great form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. They are playing exciting and positive cricket and have the potential to beat Australia if they hit all of their main points.

Verdict

Australia Women v South Africa Women - T20

I am backing Australia Women to win. I am also backing Ellyse Perry to top score for Australia Women.

Tazmin Brits is a good bet to top score for the South Africa Women.
