South Africa vs Scotland Women Predictions

South Africa are strong contenders to wrest the crown away from Australia. They will be disappointed to have lost to England, but the defeat will motivate them to be ruthless against a bright Scotland side that is full of potential but low on experience against top-flight international sides.

South Africa Women Form

After winning three out of their last four matches, South Africa lost to England by seven wickets with just four balls in hand.

Laura Wolvaardt (42) and Marizanne Kapp (26) did their best to build a challenging total against tight England bowling, but they had to be content with 124/6 off their 20 overs.

Marizanne Kapp (1/17), Nonkululeko Mlaba (1/22) and Nadine de Klerk(1/23) all kept the England batters to under six runs to the over, but the experienced England top-order timed their chase perfectly, claiming the win with four balls to spare.

South Africa Women Team News

South Africa are in good form and won’t need to make any changes to beat Scotland. They will be looking for a big win to build their net run rate.

Scotland Women Form

Scotland have lost both of their opening two matches in this World Cup and don’t look like they will be much competition for the powerful South African side.

Kathryn Bryce (25) and Ailsa Lister (26) lifted Scotland to 59/2 after 12 overs, but the middle order couldn’t maintain the run rate and they drifted to 99/8 off their 12 overs.

Olivia Bell (2/18, econ 6.00) bowled superbly as the West Indies stuttered to 59/4 in the ninth over before they got their innings back on track to secure the win with 8.2 overs to spare.

Scotland need to improve their batting if they hope to be competitive against South Africa.

Verdict

South Africa Women v Scotland Women - T20

I am backing South Africa Women to win. I am also backing Laura Wolvaardt to top score for South Africa Women.

Ailsa Lister is a good bet to top score for Scotland Women.
