RSAW vs SLW Team Previews
South Africa Women
After dominating with the bat and ball in the series opener, the Proteas Women came unstuck with both in the following fixture. They will be eager to bounce right back here - and perhaps complete a series win they arguably should have wrapped up a few days earlier.
Whether Laura Wolvaardt returns to the XI remains in the balance. She struck a maiden WT20I century in the series opener before falling ill - and was unavailable for the second match. Nadine de Klerk captained the team in the absence of Wolvaardt - and weighed in with the ball as well.
Anneke Bosch replaced Wolvaardt at the top of the order and struck a solid half-century. If the captain does return to the team, Bosch will likely be retained and Tazmin Brits dropped. Brits' last two innings have yielded just 22 runs in total.
South Africa Women Playing 11
Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp, Sune Luus, Anneke Bosch, Nadine de Klerk, Eliz Mari Marx, Karabo Meso, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tumi Sekhukhune, Ayabonga Khaka.
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka Women's performance was far stronger in the second match than it was in the first. They showed that they are not to be taken lightly, even when playing away from home and in foreign conditions. South Africa Women should be hard pressed against the visitors again.
Achini Kulasuriya could be key with the ball again. The right-arm seamer claimed two important wickets in her team's recent win. Conditions in East London should suit her, too. Chamari Athapaththu's economy rate of 4.50 in the previous match was remarkable. The captain and spinner can build on that momentum.
Vishmi Gunaratne's unbeaten 65 not out in a confident pursuit of a testing 138-run target at Senwes Park was impressive. Sri Lanka Women also have all-rounder Kavisha Dilhari at their disposal. She was named player of the match in Potchefstroom after hitting 45 not out and collecting the vital wicket of Bosch.
Sri Lanka Women Playing 11
Chamari Atapattu, Harshitha Madavi, Vishmi Gunaratne, Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani, Inoshi Fernando, Achini Kulasuriya, Udeshika Prabodhani, Sugandika Kumari.
RSAW vs SLW Toss Prediction
Buffalo Park in East London will host this match. The last five toss in WT20I at this ground brought three decisions to bat first and two to bowl.
That's a reasonably even split, which might leave the toss-winning captain undecided this time. It's probable the team to win the toss here will opt to bat first on a relatively fresh pitch.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
The last three first-innings totals in WT20I cricket in East London have been 111, 109 and 94. This is evidently a low-scoring venue, where a first-innings total of 130-plus could be considered competitive.
The pitch can be slow. Both teams will likely field two specialist spinners. No rain is forecast on matchday. We should get a full fixture in under overcast skies.
RSAW vs SLW Betting Tips
Sri Lanka will be buoyed by their win in the second WT20I, but this motivation won't be enough to overcome South Africa this time.
The hosts' batting firepower, especially if Wolvaardt returns to the XI, will be too strong for the opposition - and their bowlers to formidable.
Bet on 1.28 favourites South Africa Women to beat 3.70 underdogs Sri Lanka Women in this match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The home side have a 50 percent chance of winning the toss. Bet on them to do so. If South Africa Women win the toss, they will probably choose to bat first.
Even if Wolvaardt is fit to play, Bosch will likely stay in the XI. She hit 50 in the previous match and impressed throughout. Look forward to another big performance from the hard-hitting opener.
De Klerk has taken almost 40 wickets in WT20I cricket. She has plenty of experience and knows how to succeed in East London conditions.
Gunaratne hit the highest score, 65 not out, in the previous match. She is in good form and will have another opportunity to score quickly and freely during the powerplay.
Anticipate another telling performance from Kulasuriya, who was Sri Lanka Women's most prolific bowler in the previous fixture. Conditions in East London should suit the right-arm seamer again.
