RSAW vs SLW Team Previews
South Africa Women
South Africa recently returned from a full tour of Australia, where the visitors lost the one-off Test, T20I and ODI series. Back home and highly motivated to bounce back after multiple defeats to the Australians, the Proteas Women will be properly challenged by Sri Lanka.
Batting-wise, Laura Wolvaardt, Marizanne Kapp and Tazmin Brits will be the figureheads to keep an eye on. They were South Africa's top run-scorers in the T20Is against the Aussies earlier this year. Wolvaardt's captaincy will be in the spotlight again, as she navigates the dual role of leader and top-order batter.
Masabata Klaas and Nadine de Klerk should be key with the ball. They took three wickets each during the Australian T20Is. Klaas' form is becoming all the more important in the absence of Shabnim Ismail, who has retired from international cricket.
South Africa Women Playing 11
Tazmin Brits, Laura Wolvaardt, Marizanne Kapp, Sune Luus, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Sinalo Jafta, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tumi Sekhukhune, Masabata Klaas.
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka Women have not played international cricket since September 2023, when they were in action at the Asian Games. They beat Pakistan Women and Thailand Women before losing to India Women in the final at that tournament. Six months later, there is a lot of promise to build on.
Chamari Athapaththu and Anushka Sanjeewani were Sri Lanka Women's top performers with the bat at the Asian Games. Athapaththu has since gathered more experience in the Women's Premier League and is certainly the batting kingpin to watch in this series against South Africa.
Inoshi Priyadharshani and Udeshika Prabodhani took five wickets each in the Asian Games. They were relatively prolific and could be among the best off-spin and left-arm seam combinations in women's cricket around the world. The Proteas Women are in for a big challenge against these two.
Sri Lanka Women Playing 11
Chamari Atapattu, Harshitha Madavi, Vishmi Gunaratne, Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani, Inoka Ranaweera, Inoshi Fernando, Achini Kulasuriya, Udeshika Prabodhani.

Athapaththu has played international cricket since 2009. She has plenty of experience, most recently for UP Warriorz Women in the prestigious Women's Premier League in India.
