Team Analysis:
Australia Women:
The dominance of Australia in the game of cricket has been maintained by the women as well. Meg Lanning-led side has delivered outstanding display during the ICC tournament so far. Rachael Haynes (43 off 53) and wicket-keeper batter Alyssa Healy (72 off 65) provided a much-needed start in their previous clash against Indian Women and, later, skipper Lanning's 97 run knock helped the side to ensure victory in the game. The three top-order batters must be added to the fantasy squad considering their top form in the tournament. Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney are two middle-order batters who will strengthen the fantasy team. Perry's all-round performances have been a vital cog in Australia's dominance in the tournament. Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia and Alana King are three top-notch bowlers from the side.
South Africa Women:
Laura Wolvaardt is one of the standout performers for the side and has performed in every game so far. Her 67-run in 94 balls helped her side post a competitive total in the match against New Zealand Women hosts. She is a mandatory pick as an opener for the fantasy team. Skipper Luus' half-century in the previous game was also instrumental, and she must be considered while forming a fantasy squad. Kapp is a top-notch all-rounder and must be included in the fantasy team. She scored 34 off 35 and picked two crucial wickets in the game against the hosts. Shabnim Ismail and Ayabonga Khaka are two top-seeded bowlers from the team, and both displayed top performance in their last outing as the duo clinched crucial wickets.
