First ball of the match to be a dot ball
The more important the match, the more the chances that batters will just take a bit of time before making their move. To get 27% return on your stake is great value!
The dismissal one method for this encounter to be a fielder's catch

ENG-W vs SA-W Team Previews
England Women
England Women were in great touch till they ran into some troubled waters midway through the tournament. Pakistani women made them fight for a win, and they escaped with a single point. Then they lost to the Australian women in a lopsided affair.
Despite a few hiccups, the English women displayed resilience, securing a comfortable victory over New Zealand Women in their last league match. This win propelled them to the second spot in the points table, ending the league phase with 11 points.
Nat Sciver-Brunt will lead the England batting charge in this contest. She has put together 358 runs from her last ten games with an average of 44.75 and a strike rate of 86.68. Heather Knight will follow her with 288 runs from her previous seven games with an average of 57.6 and a strike rate of 86.48.
Sophie Ecclestone, as usual, will spearhead the English bowling. She has picked up 17 wickets from her previous nine encounters with a strike rate of 25.47. Linsey Smith has picked up 15 victims from her nine contests with a strike rate of 26.66.

South Africa Women
In fact, South African women have not done too badly either. They recorded wins in five of their seven games and lost the other two. They started their campaign on a losing note but recovered to finish third in the points table. They finished the league stages of the tournament with 10 points.
Although they are going into this competition on the back of a loss against Australia Women, they won the four games before that. The heavy loss to the Aussie Women might have dented their confidence.
Tazmin Brits will lead the South African batting charge in this encounter.
She has scored 439 runs in her last nine contests with an average of 73.17 and a strike rate of 102.81. Laura Wolvaardt has also scored 433 runs from her previous ten contests with an average of 48.11 and a strike rate of 87.29.
Nonkululeko Mlaba has picked up 13 scalps from her last nine contests with a strike rate of 29.07. Nadine de Klerk has picked up 11 wickets from her last seven contests with a strike rate of 22.63.

ENG-W vs SA-W Toss Prediction
We have seen four ODI games played at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Things are even stevens with two wins and two losses for the sides batting and fielding first. It might be a better idea to field first here, as the pitch is unlikely to deteriorate much.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is known for its batting-friendly conditions. While bowlers may find it challenging to contain the batting charge on this track, they can take heart in the fact that the pitch is unlikely to deteriorate much. Spinners might come to the forefront towards the end of the contest when the surface has worn out a bit.
The weather during this contest is likely to be cloudy, with no chance of showers, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted game.
ENG-W vs SA-W: Who Will Win?
Both teams have done a great job reaching the semi-finals and winning five of their seven league games. However, England pretty much demolished New Zealand Women in their last game, regaining their form as a team. In contrast, South African Women in their previous contest went down heavily to the favorites, the Australian women.
All in all, we reckon England Women, with a positive head-to-head over New Zealand Women, will be the favorites to win this encounter and reach the final.
Bet on England Women to win.
ENG-W vs NZ-W win percentage stands at 71% in favor of ENG-W.
