BANW vs RSAW Team Previews

Bangladesh Women

The Bangladesh Women were recently involved in a low-scoring game against England Women. They started their tournament off with a win, but suffered the first loss of their group stage against the English. This will be their final game of the group stage.

Sobhana Mostary will be a crucial player for Bangladesh with the bat. She is expected to anchor the innings while also accelerating when needed. She was the reason that the home side had a glimmer of hope against England Women. Mostary hit 44 runs off 48 balls against them. The team's batting has been a weakness so far. They only managed scores of 119 for seven in 20 overs against Scotland Women and 97 for seven in 20 overs against England Women.

Players like Nigar Sultana and Dilara Akter will need to step up to address the batting problem. Sultana will want to contribute with the bat to show leadership in more ways than just setting the fields while bowling. Akter will need a score to give her side a strong start in the all-important powerplay phase.

Bangladesh Women will look to their experienced players of Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun and Ritu Moni to step up in the middle overs with the ball. The two of them piled on the pressure against England Women during the middle overs in an attempt to pull the game back in their favour. All three contributed with two wickets each to showcase the depth in bowling that they have.

The bowling lineup can expect a similar threat to the English Women when they face the South African Women. Both have the ability to pounce with the bat in the powerplay in two of the world's best Women's T20I opening batting partnerships.

South Africa Women

South Africa Women come into this match as favourites. They ensured that they got their campaign back on track after a disappointing loss to the English. They currently have four points after two wins and a loss in their three games.

The Wolvaardt and Brits opening batting combination got the South Africans off to a flying start. Marizanne Kapp took over the show in the middle order. All three of Wolvaardt, Brits and Kapp recorded scores in the 40s. They will be hoping to collect half-centuries when they face the team from Asia. Laura Wolvaardt has also been one of the most consistent run-scorers this tournament. She also broke the record for the most South Africa Women's T20I runs with her currently on 1906. That number surpassed Lizelle Lee's 1869 runs.

The bowlers did not fail to impress either. The bowling group combined to bowl their Scottish opponents out for a mere 86 runs. Although mostly a bowling group effort, it was Nonkululeko Mlaba who returned the best bowling figures of the day with three for 12 in four overs. Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk were able support to Mlaba with two wickets each.

Marizanne Kapp's all-round abilities, Tazmin Brits' solid batting at the top and Mlaba's effective spin will be key to their success. They have a well-balanced team capable of handling various match situations.
