England vs South Africa Women Predictions

England won the inaugural Women’s T20 World Cup in 2009 and were runners-up in 2012, 2014 and 2018. South Africa have lost twice at the T20 World Cup semi-final stage, first to England in 2014 and to Australia in 2020.

England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt (176 runs) heads the World Cup runs list
England’s Amy Jones has scored 40 & 47 in her last 2 innings
South Africa’s Tazmin Brits has scored 45 and 50* in her last 2 innings
South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt has scored 65, 18, 13, 19 & 66* in her last 5 innings

Head-to-Head

England won the last four matches between the two sides when they met in July 2022. South Africa won the previous meeting in February 2020.

England Women Form

England won their first three matches before thrashing Pakistan by 114 runs in their last group match.

Danni Wyatt (59) got the innings off to a good start before she fell with the score at 107/3 in the 12th over. Nat Sciver-Brunt (81*) and Amy Jones (47) added 100 for the fifth wicket in just over seven overs.

Chasing 214 runs to win, Pakistan were always behind the clock and ended on 99/9 off their 20 overs. Katherine Sciver-Brunt (2/14) was the pick of the England bowlers.

England Women Team News

The England squad are all fit and available for selection.

South Africa Form

After suffering two losses and one win in their opening group matches, South Africa had to beat Bangladesh to qualify for the semi-final.

South Africa restricted Bangladesh to 113/6 off their 20 overs. Marizanne Kapp (2/17) was the destroyer-in-chief with the ball.

South Africa made a slow start, but Laura Wolvaardt (66*) and Tazmin Brits (50*) got on top of the bowling to record a 10-wicket win with 13 balls to spare.

South Africa Team News

South Africa are likely to retain the same side for the semi-final.

Verdict

England Women v South Africa Women

I am backing England to win. I am also backing Nat Sciver-Brunt to top score for England.

Tazmin Brits is a good bet to top score for South Africa.
