South Africa Women vs Sri Lanka Women Predictions

Sri Lanka Women came from 1-0 down to win the last two T20Is to claim the 3-match WT20I series 2-1. South Africa have won three of their last five WODIs, including losing their recent series against Australia 2-1. Sri Lanka have only won one of their last five WODIs.

South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt averages 44.60 in WODIs.
South Africa's Marizanne Kapp scored 60 & 44 in her 3 WT20I innings against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka’s Chamari Athapaththu scored 73 in the deciding WT20I against South Africa.
Sri Lanka Women’s Harshitha Samarawickrama scored 38 & 54* in her last three innings against South Africa.

Head-to-Head

South Africa have won the last five WODIs against Sri Lanka, three of them by large wicket margins and with plenty of overs to spare.

South Africa Women Form

With the WT20I series level at 1-1, South Africa were beaten by Sri Lanka by four wickets with five balls in hand.

After being pegged back to 65/3 in the ninth over, South Africa posted 155/6 off their 20 overs. Laura Wolvaardt scored 56 off 47 balls, Anneke de Klerk scored 27 (sharing a 54-run stand with Wolvaardt), and Nadine Klerk weighed in with 44* off 25 balls, with four fours and three sixes.

Sri Lanka hit the winning runs with five balls to spare and for the loss of six wickets. Nadine de Klerk (2/25, econ 6.25) was the pick of the South Africa bowlers.

South Africa Women Team News

There are no injury reports from the South Africa Women squad.

Sri Lanka Women Form

After losing the first WT20I against South Africa, Sri Lanka fought back to win the second and third WT20Is to clinch the series 2-1.

Sri Lanka restricted South Africa to 97/4 after 13.3 overs, the home side ending on 155/6 off their 20 overs. Sugandika Kumari (3/24, econ 6.00) did the early damage while Inoshi Priyadharshani (1/18, econ 4.50) was incredibly economical with the ball.

Skipper Chamari Athapaththu (73 off 46 balls) his seven fours and five sixes) in a 97-run partnership for the second wicket with Harshitha Samarawickrama (54 off 43 balls) to set-up the four-wicket win with five balls in hand.

Sri Lanka Women Team News

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

Verdict

South Africa Women v Sri Lanka Women - 1st ODI

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

Chamari Athapaththu is a good bet to top score for the Sri Lanka Women.
