England Women are set to battle South Africa Women, having only lost to Australia thus far. England boasts strong form despite a close call against Pakistan due to rain. Expect an unchanged lineup with stars like Heather Knight and Amy Jones leading. Meanwhile, South Africa, despite a solid run, faced heavy defeats to England and Australia, ending their group stage with a loss. Laura Wolvaardt and Nadine de Klerk are key players for South Africa. Predictions lean toward an England victory, with Knight and Wolvaardt pivotal in scoring.

England vs South Africa Women Preview


England have been very strong during the World Cup, only losing to tournament favourites, Australia. They also annihilated South Africa in their opening game a few weeks back. Despite the good form of South Africa, I am backing England to reach the final.

Head-to-Head


England lead 4-1 in their last five ODIs against South Africa Women.

England Women Form


England bounced back from defeat to Australia to beat New Zealand in their final group match.

Linsey Smith starred with the ball for England, returning figures of 3/30 as New Zealand were rolled for 168 off 38.2 overs. 

Amy Jones scored a magnificent 86 off 92 balls to guide England home for an eight-wicket win with 20.1 overs in the bank.

England Women Team News


England Women are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. 

South Africa Women Form


After winning five matches in a row, South Africa ended their group stage commitments with a heavy defeat to Australia.

Laura Wolvaardt top-scored with 31 off 26 balls, but with only Sinalo Jafta (29 off 17) and Nadine de Klerk (14) scoring above six, they were bowled out for 97 off 24 overs. 

Marizanne Kapp (1/11) and Masabata Klaas (1/14) gave South Africa a glimmer of hope by reducing Australia to 11/2, but they could not prevent them from securing a seven-wicket win off just 16.5 overs. 

South Africa Women Team News


Nadine de Klerk has been spectacular with the bat, smashing the most sixes in the tournament (10), while scoring 174 runs (ave 134.58). 

Verdict

I am backing England Women to win. I am also backing Heather Knight to top score for England Women.

Laura Wolvaardt is a good bet to top score for the South Africa Women.
