A Reminder on South Africa’s Squad

South Africa are using this tour to test young players. Most of their World Cup regulars are not here. Marizanne Kapp, Dane van Niekerk, Sune Luus, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tazmin Brits, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Ayabonga Khaka and Shabnim Ismail are all missing. So South Africa’s overall team form does not fully apply to this specific squad. Laura Wolvaardt is the one player with real experience leading this group.

Faye Tunnicliffe vs Zimbabwe’s spin: Tunnicliffe has scored well for South Africa’s Emerging side recently and is one of the more promising young batters in this squad.

ZIM-W vs SA-W 2nd T20 Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Faye Tunnicliffe, Karabo Meso, Sinalo Jafta

Batters: Laura Wolvaardt (C), Annerie Dercksen (VC), Christina Mutasa

All-rounders: Josephine Nkomo, Kayla Reyneke, Caitlin Wyngaard

Bowlers: Nomvelo Sibanda, Eliz-Mari Marx

Wolvaardt is captain because she is far more experienced than anyone else in this match. Dercksen is vice captain as one of the few other South Africans with recent senior experience.

This team is built with real caution given how little data exists on most players in this match. Treat it as a higher risk pick than a normal international game.

Match Prediction

South Africa should win again. Laura Wolvaardt is a class above everyone else on the field, and Zimbabwe have lost five matches in a row, often struggling to score even 100 runs.

Zimbabwe will hope for a better batting effort than their first match, where they were bowled out for 116. But South Africa’s bowling group did the job well then and should do so again.

South Africa Women are the clear pick to win this match too.
