Match: ENG-W vs SA-W T20 Match Prediction
Time: 23 July, 07:30 PM (IST)
Series: Women 2nd T20 Match
Venue: New Road – Worcester, England
Info:
Sophia Dunkley scored a century during the WODI series and hit eight boundaries on Thursday. The opener is in excellent form and we expect her to be England Women’s highest run scorer against South Africa Women.
Katherine Brunt was very close to unplayable during her spells in Chelmsford. She is our tip for South Africa Women’s top wicket taker in this game.
Laura Wolvaardt was by far South Africa Women’s best batter in the first WT20I. She is a strong performer in all formats and we are backing her to be South Africa Women’s highest run scorer in this match.

ENG-W Team News:
England Women made it four wins in a row over South Africa Women after romping home by 5 wickets and 30 balls remaining in Chelmsford on Thursday evening. The hosts gave a WT20I debut to bowler Issy Wong who went wicketless but still bowled impressively and returned figures of 0-19 from four overs. Her opening bowling partner, the significantly more experienced Katherine Brunt who was playing in her 96th international in this format, finished with figures of 4-15. With the bat, Heather Knight and Amy Jones got the team home but it was opener Sophia Dunkley who did the damage with 59 runs from 39 balls.
SA-W Team News:
South Africa Women continue to struggle on this tour and very few of their players emerged from the opening WT20I with their reputation enhanced. The visitors posted 111-9 with only two of their batters, Laura Wolvaardt and Anneke Bosch, making double figure scores. Fortunately for South Africa Women, Wolvaardt hit 55 runs from 49 balls which gave their bowlers something to defend. 30 year old medium pacer, Ayabonga Khaka, gave her side hope with the early wickets of Danni Wyatt and Bryony Smith. She finished with 3-13 from four overs but none of her fellow bowlers were able to maintain the same control and threat that she had
