South Africa vs West Indies Women Predictions

Both sides are in a good run of form, but the South Africans have had the better of the West Indies in recent meetings, so I am backing them for the win.

South Africa’s Annerie Dercksen has scored 44*, 19 & 21* in her last 3 innings.
West Indies’ Hayley Matthews scored 42 off 46 balls in the warm-up match against Australia.
West Indies’ Stafanie Taylor has scored 33 & 38 in her last 3 innings.
