AUS-W vs SA-W 3rd ODI: Intense battle set to unfold with series in sight
The highly engrossing three-match ODI series between Australia Women and South Africa Women will head into the third and final ODI which is set to take place on Saturday at North Sydney Oval. Currently, the series is hanging in the balance with both teams having won one match each to tie it at 1-1.
Australia Women drew first blood, securing a nail-biting 8-wicket win, thanks to their disciplined bowling attack that bowled out South Africa for the paltry of 105 in 31.3 overs. But, South Africa Women made their resounding comeback in the second ODI, delivering a dominant performance in the rain-shortened game to level the series with a convincing 84-run win.
Both teams boast a set of talented players capable of turning the game into their favor. For Australia Women, the likes of Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney will be crucial in their victory. Australian batters will look to provide a flying start at the top of the order, while bowling departments will expect Alana King, Kim Garth and Megan Schutt to continue with their rhymethic spell to present South Africa with greater challenges.
South Africa Women, on the other hand, will rely on their experienced campaigners to deliver under pressure and continue with their last match’s performance to overcome Australian challenge. Players such as, Laura Wolvaardt, Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp will hold the key to South Africa's success.
AUS-W Probable XI: Phoebe Litchfield, Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt
SA-W Probable XI: Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Anneke Bosch, Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka
