RSAW vs BANW Match Preview
These two women's team played their first game of the series in East London a couple of days back. The Bangladesh women's team batted first to score 250 runs for the loss of three wickets in their quota of 50 overs. The South African women could score just 131 runs from 36.3 overs and were bowled out well before they could get even close to the target. Bangladesh women registered an easy win by a margin of 119 runs. The Bangladesh top-order batting was in good touch at the start of the Bangla innings.
The entire top order of the Bangladesh Women's team contributed to the team's cause. The openers Shamima Sultana and Fargana Hoque contributed 66 runs for the first wicket. But the Bangladesh innings was provided real impetus by Murshida Khatun, who scored 91 runs from 100 balls and remained unbeaten. Most Bangladesh bowlers were successful during the South Africa innings, with Nahida Akter leading the bowling figures with three wickets for 33 runs from her 8.3 overs.
The Bangladesh batters used a measured and solid approach while batting first. They kept their wickets intact for the most part and reaped the benefits of the effort. Nonkululeko Mlaba picked up one wicket for 37 runs from her ten overs. Only three wickets went down during the South African innings. Eliz-mari Marx, Nonkululeko Mlaba, and Delmi Tucker picked them up. The South African front-line bowler Ayabonga Khaka also bowled economically but could not pick up wickets. The South African management will again expect these bowlers to do well in this game.
The South African openers lost their wickets cheaply in the first over of their innings. Many middle and lower-middle-order batters got starts but could not convert them into big scores. The South African women were never in contention to pose a serious challenge to the Bangladesh total. Eliz-Mari Marx was the top run-getter for South African women with 35 runs from 59 balls. Sune Luus also batted well for 31 runs from 38 balls. South African batters such as Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits will have to bat well for the team to raise a good score in this game.
Weather Report
We will likely get sunny conditions during Tuesday afternoon, with the temperatures soaring to 34 degrees. The skies might get a little cloudy during the evenings, but there is no chance of getting showers during the match. You can expect the speedsters to get purchase from the track due to the cloudy conditions.
Pitch Report
Before this game, as many as sixteen one-day international games have been played at the venue of Senwes Park in Potchefstroom. More games have been won by the teams batting second. So, the wicket will hold well throughout the game, and the skipper winning the toss will look to field first here.
