The hosts will have been happy with their opening game of the series as they won by 8 wickets with 5 balls remaining after taking 6 wickets with the ball. However, this match is at a different venue with different challenges and Australia Women will need different skills to go 2-0 up.
The opening pair of Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy are always going to be a tough top order combination and so it proved in Canberra as they put on 72 from eight overs before the skipper Healy was dismissed. There are plenty of runs throughout this Australia Women’s side ahead of the second WT20I.
Darcie Brown and Ellyse Perry both took two-wicket hauls in the opening match of the series with Georgia Wareham picking up a dismissal as well. In Hobart, we can expect Megan Schutt and Ashleigh Gardner to be more of a threat from the first ball.
Australia Women have won three WT20Is in a row and were very impressive in the opening game of the series.

Although they were beaten and travel to Hobart 1-0 down in the series, South Africa Women will feel they can take some confidence from the opening game defeat. The bowlers will need to make specific plans for how to get the opening batting pair out early though if they are to level the series at 1-1.
There was good intent from South Africa Women’s batters in the opening match with only two of the eight batters ending their innings with a strike-rate below 100. Tazmin Brits top scored and the middle-order all got to double figures. South Africa will certainly be positive again in Hobart.
With the ball is where South Africa Women need to make the most adjustments after not looking particularly threatening in the opening WT20I in Canberra. However, their pace attack should get a bit more joy from this pitch to give them encouragement.
South Africa Women come into this game with only one WT20I victory from their last four.

The pitch in Hobart is likely to be a bit of a leveller with the more lively pitch likely to assist the bowlers of South Africa Women. That said, Australia Women still have the players to dominate and although we are expecting a closer contest we are again backing Australia Women to win.
