Australia Women are favorites to win
Australia Women will take on South Africa Women at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart in the third WT20I of the series. This game gets underway at 19:05 on Tuesday 30th January 2024.
Compared to the hard pace and bounce of the pitch in Canberra, we can expect a slightly slower track in Hobart but with a surface which will provide assistance to the pace bowlers.

After comfortably winning the opening game of the series, Australia Women found themselves on the receiving end on Sunday when they lost by six wickets with six balls remaining. It means that this match will be the decider with the series level at 1-1.
Number seven batter Grace Harris top scored for Australia Women in the second WT20I and we could see her move up the order for this game after hitting three fours and one six in that innings. A strong opening partnership would go a long way to Australia Women securing the series.
Only four wickets were taken by the hosts bowling attack in the last game with Megan Schutt, Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath dismissing the batters. All three, along with Ellyse Perry are likely to find the Hobart pitch responsive to their bowling style in this game.
Australia Women missed out on their fourth successive WT20I win and have lost two of their last five in this format.

Many analysts expected Australia Women to have already secured the series ahead of this final game in Hobart but Laura Wolvaardt’s team will travel to Tasmania still with a chance of winning the three-match series. We expect to see the same XI selected for this game.
Tazmin Brits top scored in the opening game of the series and she added another 41 runs to her tally in the second match before being dismissed. However, her opening partner and skipper Wolvaardt comes into this match after hitting 58 not out in the last match.
After struggling in Canberra in the first WT20I, South Africa Women’s bowlers were far better in the last game and the whole bowling unit will arrive in Hobart fancying their chance of dismissing top order batters once more. Ayabonga Khaka is the only bowler who arrives in poor form without a wicket in the series.
South Africa Women have won two of their last three games in this format and can still win this series.

Over the last 18 months, we have seen Australia Women lose their aura as an unbeatable side. South Africa Women’s victory on Sunday was a surprise but they did it comfortably with an over remaining and they will fancy their chances of going on and winning the series now. However, we expect Australia Women to respond well and are backing them to emerge with the victory in the final game.
