AU-W vs SA-W Dream11 prediction Women’s T20 World Cup final: Australia vs South Africa women injury update

Hosts
South
Africa
shocked
England
to
reach
their
maiden
Women’s
T20
World
Cup
final
but
will
have
to
pull
off
another
miracle
as
they
take
on
five-time
champions
Australia,
who
fend
off
Harmanpreet
Kaur’s
heroics
to
reach
their
seventh
final.

This
will
also
be
Australia’s
attempt
to
win
the
fourth
final
on
the
trot
and
will
be
aiming
to
win
third
consecutive
Women’s
T20
World
Cup.
Australia
have
a
further
psychological
advantage
as
they
also
made
lightwork
of
South
Africa
during
the
group
stages,
where
they
also
topped
the
group
with
four
wins
out
of
four
games.

Australia
women
injury
update,
key
players
vs
South
Africa
women

Australia
have
no
injury
concerns
at
the
time
of
writing
(Saturday,
February
25)
and
are
big
favourites
to
win
their
sixth
title.

Australian
openers
scoring
runs
at
will

Australia’s
opening
combination
of
Alyssa
Healy
and
Beth
Mooney
are
in
good
touch
of
late
with
the
latter
scoring
a
half-century
as
well.
However,
her
knock
was
far
from
comfortable
as
she
survived
two
dropped
catches.

Mooney
scored
a
half-century
against
South
Africa
in
the
group
stages
as
well.
Healy,
on
the
other
hand,
scored
25,
54*,
37,
55,
and
62
in
her
last
five
innings
but
missed
the
South
Africa
game
earlier.

Australian
middle-order
adds
to
batting
solidity

Skipper
Meg
Lanning
scored
49
against
India
in
the
semis
and
scored
41
and
48
in
the
group
stages
as
well.
However,
it’s
worth
noting
that
Lanning
could
only
score
a
run
against
the
hosts
earlier.

The
run-scoring
spree
of
the
Australian
top-order
has
limited
batting
opportunities
for
the
likes
of
Ashleigh
Gardner,
Ellyse
Perry
and
Tahlia
McGrath,
who
come
later
in
the
middle
order.
Gardner
made
the
most
of
the
opportunities
that
came
her
way
with
cameos
of
31,
28*,
and
19*
in
the
slog
overs.
Adding
to
that,
she
has
taken
10
wickets
this
tournament.

Perry
scored
just
13
runs
from
her
last
two
innings
while
didn’t
get
to
bat
in
the
two
innings
before
that.
She
also
picked
three
wickets
so
far.
McGrath
batted
just
once
in
five
games
and
scored
57
while
pinch-hitter
Grace
Harris
is
promoted
up
the
order
if
there
are
few
overs
to
spare.
However,
she
hasn’t
made
any
significant
contribution
yet.

Gardner,
Schutt
lead
charge
with
ball

Among
bowlers,
pacer
Megan
Schutt
has
been
the
most
effective
bowler
after
Gardner
with
nine
wickets.
Fellow
pacer
Darcie
Brown,
however,
has
been
more
effective
on
Newlands
pitch
as
she
took
18/2
against
India
and
has
picked
up
six
wickets.

Leg-spinner
Georgia
Wareham
has
as
many
wickets
as
well
but
was
ineffective
against
India.
However,
she
could
do
the
trick
against
South
Africans,
who
are
not
the
best
batters
of
spin.

Experienced
spinner
Jess
Jonassen
was
drafted
into
the
game
in
place
of
Alana
King
and
the
wrist
spinner
was
crucial
with
her
1/22
spell
against
India.

South
Africa
women
injury
update,
key
players
vs
Australia
women

South
Africa
has
reported
no
injury
concerns
before
the
match
as
well
and
will
be
looking
to
make
the
most
out
of
the
home
support
to
shock
Australia
the
same
way
they
did
to
the
English
team.

Openers
mainstay
of
South
African
batting
order

A
lot
will
rely
on
South
African
openers
Tazmin
Britz
and
Laura
Wolvaardt
with
both
the
batters
hitting
top
gear
when
it
matters
the
most.
Britz
has
been
in
best
of
touch
with
knocks
of
68,
50*,
and
45
in
her
last
three
outings
as
the
hosts
turn
things
around
in
that
period.

Wolvaardt
has
been
doing
heavy
lifting
too
with
knocks
of
53
and
66
in
the
last
two
innings.
Marizanne
Kapp
found
a
rhythm
as
well
with
a
crucial
27
not
out
under
pressure
against
England
after
strings
of
flops.
She
failed
to
click
with
the
ball
but
has
seven
wickets
in
the
group
stages.

Skipper
Sune
Luus
has
been
consistent
as
well
with
knocks
of
20,
22,
28
this
World
Cup.
Chloe
Tryon
is
the
go-to
batter
for
quick
runs
in
the
slog
overs
and
has
scored
a
34-ball
40
early
in
the
group
stages
too.

Nadine
de
Klerk
provides
the
same
but
failed
to
do
against
England
but
has
played
knocks
of
28
and
14
earlier
in
the
death
overs.

Pacer
Khaka
comes
out
as
surprise
package

Among
bowlers,
senior
pacer
Shabnim
Ismail
has
been
reserving
her
best
for
the
closing
stages
as
she
picked
3/27
against
England
and
has
seven
wickets
to
her
name
this
World
Cup.
Fellow
seamer
Ayobonga
Khaka
took
six
wickets
in
two
games
including
4/29
in
the
semifinal.

New-ball
spinner
Nonkuleleko
Mlaba
was
ineffective
in
the
last
game
with
a
spell
of
0/30
but
was
in
good
touch
during
the
group
stages
with
five
wickets
in
three
games

AU-W
vs
SA-W
pitch
report,
Australia
vs
South
Africa
women’s

The
pitch
was
expected
not
to
provide
any
movement
to
the
pacers
in
the
semis
but
Shabnim
Ismail
found
movement
from
it
in
the
semis
and
so
did
Khaka
in
light
overcast
conditions.
The
pitch,
however,
appeared
dry
in
the
last
two
games
and
will
have
turn
on
the
offer
for
the
spinners
to
exploit.

There’s
enough
score
for
batters
to
score
runs
and
the
shorter
boundaries
on
the
side,
less
than
60
metres,
provide
further
assistance.
The
previous
two
games
proved
that
anything
below
170
for
the
side
batting
first
may
not
suffice.
