ICC Women's World Cup 2022, Match 21: South Africa Women vs Australia Women - Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

South Africa Women will take on Australia Women at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in the 21st match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.

Australia, led by Meg Lanning, have already made their way through to the next round. Having won all five of their matches, they haven’t put a foot wrong in the ongoing edition of the mega event. They will go into the match on the back of a six-wicket win over Mithali Raj’s India.

Having lost the toss and asked to field, Darcie Brown gave the Aussies an excellent start, dismissing Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Yastika Bhatia cheaply. However, India recovered to post a competitive total of 277.

Alyssa Healy’s 72 and Meg Lanning’s 97 laid the platform for the run-chase. Later, Beth Mooney showed nerves of steel to take the Aussies over the line.

South Africa, led by Sune Luus, are one step away from making it through to the next round. Having won all four of their matches, they are placed second with a decent net run rate of 0.226. They defeated hosts New Zealand, led by Sophie Devine, in their previous match on March 17.

After electing to bat first, the White Ferns were bowled out for 228 in 47.5 overs despite Devine’s 101-ball knock of 93. Thereafter, Laura Wolvaardt scored 67 off 94 to set the tone for the run-chase. Marizanne Kapp stayed unbeaten on 34 off 35 to take South Africa home.
