South Africa Women

South African Women have suffered a loss in three of their last five games. Their last win in test matches came back in 2007 against New Zealand Women. They also had to take a loss in the T20I and ODI series played earlier against the same opposition.

The top batter for South African women in the test matches in the recent past has been Marizanne Kapp. She has scored 317 runs in her last three games with an average of 63.4. Another batter who has done well in recent games for South African Women is Sune Luus. She has scored 242 runs in her last three games with an average of 40.33.

Chloe Tryon will lead the South African bowling charge in this game. She has picked up four wickets in her last two games and will be looking to get her team vital breakthroughs. A bowler expected to do well is Nonkululeko Mlaba. She has picked up three wickets in her last three games.

Another batter who is expected to do well for South African Women is Laura Wolvaardt. She is a right-handed opening batter, and although she has not scored as many runs in the test matches as she has done in limited over games, she is a force to reckon with in this format as well.

England Women

England women have also struggled to win in the test match format. They are going into this game after two losses against Indian Women and Australian Women in their last two games. They drew the three games before that. They played their last test match way back in 2023 against Indian Women.

Nat Sciver Brunt is the top batter for England Women in test matches. She has scored 649 runs in her last ten games with an average of 43.27. Heather Knight has also done well, scoring 621 runs in her last ten contests with an average of 41.4.

The top bowler for England Women in this game is likely to be Sophie Ecclestone. She has picked up 32 wickets in her last seven tests for England. Kate Cross has also picked up 25 wickets in her previous eight games. Some other top and middle-order batters expected to do well are Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, and Sophia Dunkley.

The English bowling will also need contributions from the likes of Lauren Bell, Nat Sciver Brunt, Lauren Filer, and Kate Cross. Most English bowlers have a lot of experience, and scoring big runs against them will take a lot of effort.

SA W vs ENG W Toss Prediction

The wicket will offer some assistance to the quicks early on. This might propel the skipper to win the toss to bowl first. But batting in the fourth innings on a wearing track will be tough. So, batting first and scoring big runs when there is pace and bounce available from the track might be on the mind of the captain winning the toss.

Pitch and Conditions

Mangaung Oval has a reputation for being a batting-friendly surface. It offers pace and bounce but it helps the batters play their strokes as well. Spinners will come into the picture after the wicket wears down. There is rain forecast during this contest and that could make it difficult for the teams to be able to push for a decisive win.

SA W vs ENG W Betting Tips

England is the stronger team in this contest, that is pretty obvious. We don't think that South Africa is really going to try for a win. They would be happy to come away with a Draw and that is how they will prepare the surface. We think this match is going to be a slow affair in which South Africa will be able to hold off the England Women and get away with a Draw.

Bet on the Draw.
