Australia will face South Africa in match 21 of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women’s World Cup at the Basin Reserve, Wellington on Tuesday. Read on as we preview this match. This fixture begins at 03:30 am IST local time.

In the previous match, Australia managed to register a comfortable win over India women. With this result, Australia are lying at the top of the table with five consecutive victories in the tournament.

On the other hand, South Africa have put in excellent performances so far this World Cup. With four victories on the bounce, Captain Sune Luus will be hoping that the side can maintain their winning streak against Australia women.

Both teams have faced off 14 times in the history of the 50-over format where Kangaroos have a clear edge with 13 wins compared to one victory for the Proteas.

Teams Status

Australia:

Australia are the most in-form team in the competition and that too by a margin. They are one of the only two unbeaten teams in the competition with five wins in as many matches. The team’s confidence would be sky high after securing a six-wicket win against India in a hard-fought contest.

Rachael Haynes’ outstanding form at the top of the order is making things easier for the rest of the players. In the last match, captain Meg Lanning played a brilliant knock of 97 off 107 balls.

That innings would be of a big relief for the management as well as for the rest of the players who will be looking at their skipper for similar kind of performances in the upcoming matches.

With the place in the knockout phase of the competition, the management might opt to make a few changes in the starting XI to give some of the players sitting on the bench a chance to showcase their talent.

South Africa:

South Africa, just like Australia, are also an in-form team in the competition with four wins in a row and are looking almost certain to secure their place in the playoffs.

The most encouraging aspect for the management would be the character shown by the players in the previous three matches where against all odds, they secured wins in tightly-contested encounters.

Unlike Australia, South Africa’s strength is their bowling unit where two bowlers have taken 10 wickets — Ayabonga Khaka and Marizanne Kapp. They are the two out of the only four bowlers to have 10 or more wickets in the competition.

On the batting side, there is an overreliance on opening batter Laura Wolvaardt who is the highest run-getter for the side with 260 runs at an average of 65, which included three half-centuries.

In the game against one of the tournament favorites, the management will be hoping that other players will also put their hands up and make themselves count.

Tipster’s Angle

Top Batsman- Australia women- Alyssa Healy @4.80

Wicket-keeper opening batsman Alyssa Healy notched up a splendid half-centuryfor Australia women in a low scoring game and she will be keen to continue his form against South Africa women.

Top Bowler- South Africa women-Shabnim Ismail @3.50

Pacer Shabnim Ismail delivered a splendid effort with the ball against New Zealand women. Ismail picked three wickets and is back to be top bowler for South Africa women. This odds have been sourced from DafaBet.

Conclusion

The match on Tuesday is expected to be a feisty one as it will be between the two most in-form teams in the competition, both of whom are still unbeaten.

Even though both teams are placed in the first and second positions respectively, the manner in which Australia have won their matches make them look far stronger than any other opposition playing in the competition.

The historical record between the teams also suggests that the Kangaroos will be firm favorites against a South African side who have been a real surprise package in the competition.

Therefore, the prediction is for Australia to secure another win and make it six in a row.
