Preview:

India Women will take on South Africa Women in the third and final T20I match. After their narrow defeat in the first T20I, India Women put up some fighting spirit in the second T20I but South Africa Women were too good for them, as India Women lost the match in the final ball of the game. There were a lot of improvements from the previous match, especially with the bat. However, fielding standards are not up to the mark and they need to work on that aspect. With the series already done and dusted India Women will be aiming to avoid the whitewash.

On the other hand, South Africa Women held their nerves in the second T20I and won a thrilling contest in the last ball of the match by 6 wickets. Half-centuries from Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt helped South Africa Women to clinch the series with still one game left. They have done a lot of homework and came prepared well for this tour. This is their second consecutive T20I series victory in a row. Every individual is well aware of their roles and responsibilities and we can see them on the field. Now they will try to whitewash India Women 3-0 on their home soil.
