After comprehensively beating South Africa in the ODI series and the one-off Test the Women in Blue shift focus on the T20I series. The hosts have been on a rampage in the series and demolished South Africa women in one sided encounters. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side look good to sweep the T20I series as well, however, South Africa are far more competitive in shortest format of the game.
Smriti Mandhana will hold the key for India women. The stalwart has been in great form, scoring two hundreds in the ODI series and backing it up with another century in the one-off Test. Shafali Verma will also be over the moon after scoring the double century in the one-off Test not so long ago. Also, Richa Ghosh, given his striking abilities will be key to India’s chances.
Renuka Singh Thakur will lead the pace attack. She is a wonderful pacer and even though not in best of form, she can rattle the Proteas batting. Also, Deepti Sharma troubled the South Africans in the ODI series, taking six wickets and will hold the key with the ball along with Pooja Vastrakar, who picked four wickets in the ODI series.
India women have been in magnificent form, having compressively defeating South Africa in the ODI series as well as the one-off Test.

South Africa Women were below par in the previous games, however, senior players did well occasionally. If South Africa have to beat this Indian team, other players will have to chip in with crucial contributions and support Laura Wolvaardt, Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp
Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp will be the key players. Wolvaardt scored a hundred in the ODIs as well as the Test match. Kapp also scored a hundred in the ODI series. Luus scored a hundred in the Test match. The three batters need to do the bulk of the scoring.
The bowlers have not been in great form for South Africa but Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba did well in the ODIs, picking 4 wickets. Marizanne Kapp is a top class bowler and even though she did not bowl much in ODIs and Test match, will hold the key in T20Is.
South Africa were no match to India in the previous games. This is because that the likes of Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp did not get much support from other batters. If SA have to win, the team needs to come good and not just one or two players.

India have dominated South Africa in the ODI and Test series and they will start the T20I series as favourites. The Indian team is laced with match winners from top to bottom while the players have been in great form. South Africa on the other hand are over reliant on Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp. India are favourites for us.
