England vs South Africa Women Predictions

England are the strong favourites on paper to win this match. I am backing South Africa to beat England as the Proteas have moulded together a well-balanced squad and have had a good month of preparation in sub-continent conditions.

South Africa Women’s Tazmin Brits has scored six WODI centuries in 39 innings.
South Africa Women’s Laura Wolvaardt averages 48.95 in WODIs.
England Women’s Emma Lamb has scored 56*, 59, 84 & 60 in her last 5 innings.
England Women’s Nat Sciver-Brunt has scored 38, 52 & 120 in her last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

England Women have won four and lost one of their last five matches against South Africa Women.

England Women Form

England lost their last WODI series 2-1 at home against India in July, losing the deciding match by 13 runs. They won their warm-up matches against India and Australia, but both sides will present far tougher challenges in tournament play.

England bowled Australia out for 247 off 34.4 overs, with Sarah Glenn the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 5/32 (econ 4.57).

England were in trouble at 135/5 before Alice Capsey (88* off 85) and Emma Lamb (60 off 63 balls) added 109 runs for the sixth wicket to take them to the brink of victory.

England Women Team News

England Women are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

South Africa Women Form

South Africa won their recent series 2-1 against Pakistan in Pakistan, losing the final match after resting some key players.

In the 1st WODI the Proteas chased down 256 to win by eight wickets. Tazmin Brits (101* off 121) and Marizanne Kapp (121* off 128) added an undefeated 216 for the third wicket.

The Proteas clinched the series in the 2nd WODI by beating Pakistan by 25 runs (D/L) after Tazmin Brits (171* off 141) and Laura Wolvaardt (100 off 129) added 260 for the first wicket.

South Africa Women Team News

South Africa Women are in excellent form and have had a good lead up to the World Cup on sub-continent wickets.

Verdict

England v South Africa Women

I am backing South Africa Women to win. I am also backing Tazmin Brits to top score for South Africa Women.

Emma Lamb is a good bet to top score for England Women.
