Preview
South Africa Women will host India Women in the first T20I of the series. This match will be played at Kingsmead, Durban. South Africa Women are coming into the series with a 4-1 loss against New Zealand Women. Laura Wolvaardt will continue to lead them. Playing at home, however, should provide them with a much-needed boost as they look to regroup and deliver a stronger performance. Dane van Niekerk is unavailable for the T20I series due to a calf injury, continuing her absence from recent matches. All-rounder Marizanne Kapp is also not playing as she is recovering from illness.
On the other hand, India Women will be high on confidence after beating Australia women 2-1 in Australia. They are currently on a four-series winning streak. They have 12 wins and 4 losses in the last four T20I series. With the Women’s T20 World Cup scheduled for June, this series offers the perfect opportunity to fine-tune strategies and combinations against a strong opponent in challenging conditions
