England Women, led by Heather Knight, will face South Africa Women, captained by Laura Wolvaardt, in the 9th match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024.
The match will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.
The game will get underway at 7:30 PM local time on October 7, 2024.
England Women started their campaign with a 21-run win over Bangladesh, while South Africa Women convincingly defeated West Indies by 10 wickets.
England Women have a superior head-to-head record against South Africa Women, with 19 wins in 24 T20I matches. However, South Africa did manage to win the last match between them in the semi-final of the previous edition of the T20 World Cup.
For England Women, Nat Sciver-Brunt is an all-rounder who provides balance to the team. She bowled her full four overs for the first time in eight games against Bangladesh. For South Africa Women, Marizanne Kapp is an all-rounder who can swing the new ball and take out key batters, as well as play a crucial role with the bat.
Spinners are expected to play a crucial role in this match. England Women have already shown their reliance on spinners in their first game, where four spinners took 16 overs and helped secure a 21-run win. South Africa Women also have spinners like Nonkululeko Mlaba and Marizanne Kapp who were instrumental in their previous match against West Indies.
The Sharjah pitch is typically slow, which could favor the spinners. This could lead England Women to persist with their four spinnersSophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Sarah Glenn, and Linsey Smithin an attempt to gain an advantage.
Getting good starts will be a challenge for both teams' batters. In their previous match, only three of the nine England batters managed to score double figures against Bangladesh.
The match will be live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar and can be watched on the Star Sports Network.
The match prediction suggests that if England Women bat first, they could score between 130-140 runs. If South Africa Women bat first, they could score between 120-130 runs.
