Australia vs South Africa Women Predictions

South Africa have won their last five matches and have played winning cricket with bat and ball. Australia seem unbeatable as there is always a player or two to come to their rescue when they are chasing, so it seems impossible to set them a target. South Africa have the ability to beat the Aussies, but they will have a better chance if they are chasing a total.

South Africa Women’s Laura Wolvaardt (270 runs, ave 54.00) is 4th in the Women’s Cricket World Cup runs list.
South Africa Women’s Nadine de Klerk has scored 84*, 37* & 41 in her last 3 innings.
Australia Women’s Alyssa Healy has scored 142 & 113* in her last 2 innings.
Australia Women’s Ashleigh Gardner has scored 115, 45 & 104* in her last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

South Africa have won one and lost four of their last five WODIs against Australia, but their win came in their last two matches when Australia won their three-match series 2-1. In WT20Is in the last two years, South Africa has beaten Australia three matches to four, so the Proteas will believe they can challenge Australia with the white ball.

Australia Women Form

Australia Women made it four wins from their last four matches when they beat England by six wickets.

Annabel Sutherland (3/60, econ 6.00) knocked over half of England’s top six as the Aussies restricted them to 244/9 off their 50 overs.

England had Australia reeling at 24/3, but an incredible stand of 180 for the fourth wicket between Annabel Sutherland (98* off 112) and Ashleigh Gardner (104* off 73) saw them home with 57 balls in hand.

Australia Women Team News

Australia have had a mix of batters rising to the occasion when needed, but some of their batters are lacking time at the crease. They are formidable chasing, with an incredible ability to recover. If they bat first and get into trouble the South African attack have the ability to keep them tied up.

South Africa Women Form

South Africa Women made it five wins from their last five matches when they beat Pakistan by 150 runs (DLS).

Laura Wolvaardt was the backbone of the Protas innings, scoring a commanding 90 off 82 balls in a rain-reduced innings. South Africa ended their 40 overs on 312/9, with 60s from Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp and a whirlwind 41 off 16 balls from Nadine de Klerk (four sixes).

With more rain falling Pakistan were set a tough task of 234 off 20 overs, but with all the South African bowlers keeping a tight line Pakistan could only muster 83/7. Marizanne Kapp (3/20, econ 4.00) knocked over three of their top four.

South Africa Women Team News

South Africa’s top six batters have all had good game time and contributed runs, and they bat deep. Nadine de Klerk (10 sixes) is the leading six-hitter in the tournament. Their bowling has also been excellent all tournament.

Verdict

Australia v South Africa Women

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

Alyssa Healy is a good bet to top score for the Australia Women.
