Preview:
Unbeaten India Women will be up against host South Africa Women in the final contest of the tri-series, on February 2 (Thursday) at Buffalo Park in East London. Both the teams have already faced each other once in the series, which was easily won by the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side. Their second scheduled clash ended with no result, courtesy of rain. However, South Africa cope well with that defeat and outplayed West Indies Women in two straight games. Both the teams have played good competitive cricket in the series and the upcoming match will be a thrilling one.
Toss Prediction:
Harmanpreet Kaur is most likely to win the toss as she has won thrice in the last four games in this tournament.
Win Possibility:
There is little doubt over the fact that the contest will be highly competitive, and both teams have a good chance to win the tri-series. But Team India has been a dominating force in the contest by winning each and every game. However, South Africa's only defeat came against India. Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana are among the three highest run-getters, while Deepti Sharma is the leading wicket-taker with 8-wickets in four games.
South Africans are also not far away if we talk about numbers as Marizanne Kapp is the leading run-getter for her side, with Laura Wolvaardt being the second. As the stakes will be really high in the game, Team India is likely to prove its supremacy by outplaying the host for the second time in the series.
Average first-inning total and Powerplay score
With 138 being the average first-inning total at Buffalo Park, the surface is likely to provide a lot of assistance to the bowlers. The surface has been good for spinners. 28-35 is likely to be the score in the powerplay.
