England Women will be locking horns with South Africa Women in the second T20I at the County Ground New Road in Worcester on Saturday, July 23. England would be pumped up heading into this contest after an emphatic six-wicket win in the opening fixture that saw their bowlers showcase a superb performance in the first innings before opener Sophia Dunkley single-handedly took command of a manageable run chase.

After the hosts succeeded in registering a whitewash in the One Day Internationals, they would now be eager to get the job done in the shortest format as they begin their preparations for the T20 cricket tournament in the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2022 at home starting July 29.

South Africa, on the other hand, have been lacklustre in this bilateral series and they need to make amends in their on-field performances at the earliest. Even the Proteas are one of the eight participants in this year’s Commonwealth Games and they desperately need to showcase an improved performance in the remaining two T20Is heading into the quadrennial sporting tournament. The visitors need both their batters and bowlers to click as a unit from here on.

Match Details:

Venue: County Ground New Road, Worcester

ENG W vs SA W Pitch Report:

The Worcester wicket is expected to be outstanding for batting and a run-fest could be witnessed on the match day. There might not be much assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is around 145 and chasing could be really difficult. Therefore, the captain winning the toss would be looking to bat first and put up runs on the board.

ENG W vs SA W, 2nd T20I Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Sophia Dunkley:

The opening batter would yet again be expected to provide a brisk start to England Women. In fact, she was their team’s star performer with the bat in the last game where she scored a quickfire 59 runs off 39 balls at a strike rate of 151.28. Though she could not see her team home, she did enough to bring her team to a safe harbour, ensuring they did not lose the match thereafter.

Probable best bowler of the match

Katherine Brunt: 

Katherine Brunt has time and again proved why she is a valuable asset to the England Women’s team with her consistent bowling performances when it matters.
