TEAMS PREVIEW

Argentina Preview

Argentina Women are high on confidence after yet another victory in the home series. The hosts improved their performance and beat Canada once again by six wickets. Their previous two wins came in thrilling encounters. However, they came hard in the second T20I and restricted Canada to 88. The hosts chased down the total in the final over with losing only four wickets. 

They were one down on 51 runs and then collapsed for 54/4 in the 14th over. Bestani and Lollo didn’t panic and crossed the line with ease. Clara Valencia picked up three wickets and Galan grabbed two for 15. Earlier, the hosts defeated Canada by one wicket in a low-scoring thriller. They restricted Canada on 74 runs and chased down the total with eight balls to spare. 

Argentina were 0-3 against Canada one year back. Now, they won three out of the next four games. The hosts would eye a 3-0 lead in the series to come close towards the big series victory. Malena Lollo could be a player to watch out for. She has been a solid batter in the middle order. We back her to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game. Albertina Galan is also a key batter and she looks promising in the top order. 

Argentina Predicted Playing XI:

Alison Stocks (c), Maria Castineiras, Albertina Galan, Malena Lollo (wk), Lucia Taylor, Mariana Martinez, Julieta Cullen, Constanza Sosa, Tamara Basile, Alison Prince, Patron Fuentes / Maria Lehmann

Canada Preview

Canada Women enter the contest with yet another loss on their tour to Argentina. After losing the opening game in dramatic fashion, Canada suffered a six-wicket loss in the second game. They are now trailing 2-0 in the ongoing series. They were restricted to 88 in the first innings and Argentina chased down the total in the final over. Canada made a slight comeback in the middle overs but it wasn’t enough. 

Their batting revolved around Achini Perera, who scored 45 runs in the second T20I. Apart from her, not a single player reached in double-digit. Canada’s batting order needs a big transformation. They saved wickets in the first game but couldn’t get boundaries. Now, they tried to take risks and lost wickets. Canada can’t afford one more defeat as it would be tough to come back from a 3-0 deficit. 

Achini Perera could be a player to watch out for. She is the leading run-scorer for Canada in the previous one year cycle. We back her to score above 25 runs in the upcoming contest. Achini Perera was a top wicket-taker in the previous series. Shreya Vora also picked up four wickets in the last game. Snigdha Malhotra bagged two wickets in both games. Canada has potential to draw a comeback in the third game. 

Canada Predicted Playing XI:

Amarpal Kaur (c), Achini Perera, Habeeba Bader (wk), Indomatie Goordial, Terisha Lavia, Vandana Mahajan, Mannat Hundal, Krima Kapadia, Tiffany Thorpe, Rabbjyot Rajput, Kainat Qazi

Weather Conditions

ARG vs CAN Pitch Report

The St George College Ground is a tough surface to bat on. Meanwhile, Perera showed character through a sensible approach. New ball advantage is key for the pacers. It was improved in the second game so we can expect 100-plus runs in the next game. Out of the previous five games on this ground, the first batting average score is 97 runs. It will be the third game on this pitch. We might expect a high-scoring game. 

Score prediction: 

If Canada Women bat first - 115-120 runs 

If Argentina Women bat first - 95-105 runs 

Toss: To Bat

In the last five women’s T20I on this track, batting first sides won three times. Argentina even struggled to chase 75 odd runs in the first game. This is a pitch where you can win the game with a score of 100. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Argentina Women to win the coin toss.
