Match Preview
After a thumping 0-3 ODI series win and a Test match loss, India Women were looking to bounce back in the T20Is. However, South Africa stunned the hosts with a convincing win in the first game.
The rain gods intervened in the second T20I, leaving the series at 1-0 in favour of the Proteas. Now, all eyes are on the series decider at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on July 9th.
South Africa Women’s batting, led by the likes of Tazmin Brits, has been firing on all cylinders. Their bowling attack, though challenged in patches, has the ability to pick up crucial wickets. A win in Chennai would seal a historic series victory for the Proteas.
India, on the other hand, will be desperate to avoid a series whitewash at home.
