Although it was a strong start to the series and South Africa Women got off to a winning start by 4 wickets with 17 balls remaining on Sunday, Laura Wolvaardt will be looking for improvements, particularly from her fellow top order batters in this match.
Three of South Africa Women’s batters will come into this game with plenty of confidence after making half-centuries in the opening fixture of the series. Skipper Wolvaardt hit 50 runs from 75 balls at the top of the order before Nadine de Klerk (58) and Chloe Tryon (71) rescued the team when they were wobbling at 111-5.
After choosing to field first on Sunday, South Africa Women’s bowlers got off to a fine start as they reduced New Zealand Women to 55-5 inside 20 overs. However, for this match, they will be keen to be more dangerous once the ball has gone a bit softer which they were unable to do in the opening ODI.
South Africa Women are in strong form with three wins from their last four ODIs.

It was a rollercoaster of a game for Sophie Devine and her side on Sunday and, although they ended up losing, there were plenty of positives to take and with a few minor changes they could well win this match. We expect New Zealand Women to be unchanged for this fixture.
With Amelia Kerr’s 22 the only double-figure score from the top four batters in the opening ODI, it is clear where the batters need to improve for New Zealand Women in this game. And with a powerhouse middle order of Brooke Halliday and Hannah Rowe, there are plenty of runs to come later in the order.
Similar to their batting, there were moments when New Zealand Women looked like they would come away with the win when they had the ball in hand in the opening match. Jess Kerr will again be dangerous with the new ball and she will be looking to pick up a wicket in the first over for the second successive game.
New Zealand Women did not play badly on Sunday but have now lost three of their last four ODIs.

It was an entertaining opening ODI between South Africa Women and New Zealand Women and we expect another close match on Thursday. South Africa Women got home with just under 3 overs remaining on Sunday but we are predicting a tighter contest. However, South Africa Women have such a strong batting line-up that we are backing them to win.
