New Zealand Women are favorites to win
New Zealand Women go head to head with South Africa Women at Edgbaston, Birmingham in Match 3 of the Women’s Cricket tournament as part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. New Zealand Women beat India Women in their last WT20I in February in Queenstown. South Africa Women lost 3-0 against England Women earlier this month. Read on as we preview this WT20I. The Group B match begins at 11:00 local time.
New Zealand Women were very disappointing in the 2022 Women’s World Cup and finished in sixth place out of eight as hosts. They have experienced players who have played in some of the big T20 tournaments across the globe.
South Africa Women have been in England since late June but have not won any of their ten fixtures. However, their performances did improve in the WT20I games towards the end of the tour.
This match will be shown live on BBC One and BBC Two.

The conditions will be most humid at the start of the game but we do not expect this to play a huge part in the decisions of the skippers. Both teams are strongest in bowling and we predict they will both want to field first.
As with all games at Edgbaston, this pitch will have plenty of consistent bounce and carry. The overhead conditions will certainly assist the swing bowlers across the match.
Humid and cloudy from start to finish of this game. The temperature will reach 22 degrees in the second innings of the match.

The White Ferns have arrived in Birmingham with a strong squad although they do not have all of their top players available. Batter Lauren Down pulled out of the tournament to prioritise her well being with swing bowler Jess Kerr still not fully recovered from the foot injury she sustained during the Women’s World Cup.
New Zealand Women have won three of their last five games in this format and are bringing some momentum into the tournament.

Three players who were originally selected in the South Africa Women squad for the tournament will not be available throughout the competition. Marizanne Kapp flew home for family reasons with Trisha Chetty and Tumi Sekhukhune out injured. Delmi Tucker and Tazmin Brits were added to the squad and we expect both to play in this match.
South Africa Women have not had a fruitful time on this trip but do have a few individual players in good form who could carry them to success.
Tazmin Brits, Lara Goodall, Anneke Bosch, Laura Wolvaardt, Mignon du Preez, Chloe Tryon (c), Delmi Tucker, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba
New Zealand Women have a very strong record over South Africa Women in WT20Is and lead 9-2 overall. South Africa Women’s last win in this format over New Zealand Women was in February 2020 in Wellington.

The bookies have New Zealand Women as the clear favourites for this game. South Africa Women’s recent record in the UK has not helped their odds.
There are some big batting names from the women’s game on show. Laura Wolvardt has broken through in recent times for South Africa Women with Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates the experienced pair for New Zealand Women.
Our batting tips are Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr for New Zealand Women. Kerr has scored two international centuries in white ball cricket.
Laura Wolvaardt, Anneke Bosch and Tazmin Brits are our batting picks for South Africa Women. Britts has a top score of 70 not out in this format.
Our picks are Amelia Kerr, Lea Tahuhu and Hannah Rowe with the ball for New Zealand Women. Rowe took 5-55 in her last international appearance and her height will mean plenty of bounce on this surface.
Our bowling recommendations are Shabnim Ismail, Ayabonga Khaka and Masabata Klaas for South Africa Women. Ismail has taken 309 international wickets and is a canny operator.
Although neither team are among the favourites for the Gold Medal, both will fancy their chances of challenging for a Bronze Medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. New Zealand Women and South Africa Women both play aggressive cricket and this should be an excellent match. We are backing New Zealand Women to win a close clash.
