Venue | Newlands, Cape Town |
England women and South Africa women will battle for a place in the final of the Women's T20 World Cup. England women have been ruthless in the tournament, winning all four games comprehensively. Their confidence will be skyrocketing after a crushing 114-run win over Pakistan women in the last game.
Meanwhile, South Africa women had an average group stage, winning two and losing two. They defeated Bangladesh and New Zealand women but lost to Sri Lanka and Australia women. They were on par with New Zealand in terms of points but qualified courtesy of a better run rate.
The surface should be good to bat, as has been the case throughout the tournament. The team that bowls good lines and lengths will have an advantage.
The weather will be slightly cloudy with temperatures ranging between 22 and 16 degrees.

Bowlers | Sophie Ecclestone, Shabnim Ismail |
Nat Sciver has been brilliant in the tournament. She is the leading run-scorer of the Women's T20 World Cup with 176 runs in 4 matches. She stroked a blazing 81 off 40 balls against Pakistan women and led her team to a brilliant win.
Danielle Wyatt also found form against Pakistan women with a breezy 59. She will be looking to ride on momentum and play another such knock helping England reach the final in what could be her final T20 World Cup.
Sophie Ecclestone bowled a spell of 1-11 against Pakistan women. The spinner has lived up to the tag of the No. 1 bowler with 8 wickets in four matches.
If South Africa have to get past England women, they will need Laura Wolvaardt to fire. The ace batter looked in fine form against Bangladesh women and scored a brilliant 66 off 50 balls.
Marizanne Kapp is a very important player in the South Africa women’s team. She is one of their best batters and a very good option with the ball. Kapp needs to bring out her A-game if South Africa has to stun England women.
