TEAMS PREVIEW

South Africa Women Emerging Preview

South Africa Emerging Women have a good chance to seal the series after winning the last game comfortably. They have nothing to lose from here, while a loss in this match would only allow Bangladesh Women to level the series.

South Africa will once again rely on their batters, who performed well in the last game. Alexandra Candler scored 85 runs off 107 balls, Miané Smit made 49 runs, while Karabo Meso and Faye Tunnicliffe scored 26 and 27 runs respectively. They have good batting depth and will once again be looking to build on that.

With the ball, South Africa Emerging Women also looked impressive. Luyanda Nzuza picked up 3 wickets for just 28 runs in the last game, while Miané Smit produced an excellent all-round performance by taking 3 wickets for just 8 runs. 

Leah Jones and Nthabiseng Nini took one wicket each. They have a bowling attack that can make good use of their plans, and once again they will be key as South Africa look to seal the series.

Key Players: Faye Tunnicliffe, Alexandra Candler, Miane Smit

South Africa Women Emerging Predicted Playing XI:

Yasmeen Khan, Alexandra Candler, Miane Smit, Karabo Meso, Faye Tunnicliffe, Nondumiso Shangase, Leah Jones, Eliz-Mari Marx, Luyanda Nzuza, Seshnie Naidu, Nthabiseng Nini

Bangladesh Women Emerging Preview

Bangladesh Emerging Women have a chance to level the series, as they can no longer win it after the first match was washed out by rain and they lost the second game.

They will be looking for a much better batting performance. Murshida Khatun was the only batter who looked in good touch in the last game, scoring 61 runs. 

Afia Ashima made 31 runs, while Jannatul Ferdus added 20 runs. The rest of the batters could not even cross the 20-run mark, so they will need a much better effort if they want to challenge the hosts.

They also need to improve with the ball. They used 8 bowling options in the last game but could not control the run flow. However, there were some positives. Habiba Islam picked up 3 wickets, Fatema Jahan picked up 2 wickets, and Sabikun Nahar took one wicket. 

The rest of the bowlers will need to support them by keeping the scoring under control so the wicket-takers can put the in-form South African batters under pressure early.

Key Players: Murshida Khatun, Habiba Islam, Sabikun Nahar Jesmin

Bangladesh Women Emerging Predicted Playing XI:

Shathi Rani, Murshida Khatun, Rubya Haider, Lata Mondal, Misty Shaha, Afia Ashima, Jannatul Ferdus, Disha Biswas, Habiba Islam, Sabikun Nahar Jesmin, Fatema Jahan
