India Women vs South Africa Women 2nd T20 Match Prediction

India women and South Africa women 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips

After losing the ODI series, India women is on the verge of humiliation in the T20I series as well. They need to win the 2nd T20I to stay alive in the series. Can they stop the South African juggernaut? The 2nd T20I match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium and is set to get underway at 7:00 PM local time

After a miserable ODI series, Indian women were expected to fair better in the shorter formats. However, that was not the case to be as India went down to the visitors by 8 wickets. Carrying on their form, South Africa batsmen made easy work of the paltry target and won with an over to spare. 

The form of Smriti Mandhana will be a worry. She is a player that can play aggressively but her poor form meant that India hasn’t got a good start in any of the game. A lot will depend on Shafali Verma as well as she is someone who likes to take the attack to the opposition. Harleen Doel was India’s best batsmen in the last game and will need to play well again. In T20Is, you need players who can play at a higher strike rate and sadly, India lacks those players. With Mandhana not in form and Harmanpreet injured, the miseries for India women are likely to continue. 

Pitch Report

The match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The pitch, as we saw in the 1st T20, is slightly slow in nature. However, it seems to get better as the match progresses.
