Most pundits were expecting a tight contest between South Africa Women and India Women across this five game WT20I series but few expected the hosts, South Africa, to be leading 2-0 after the first two games.
But that is exactly what has happened this time around with South Africa Women winning the opening WT20I by six wickets with five balls remaining in Durban on Friday before claiming a more convincing, eight wicket with 17 balls left on Sunday at the same venue.
Moving to Johannesburg for this next game, India Women will be hoping that the added pace provided by the Wanderers Stadium will give them an opportunity to get back into the series and start to build their comeback!

It was the South African bowling attack which setup the victory for the hosts on Sunday in Durban before the batters got the team over the winning line with almost three overs remaining!
The most impressive bowlers in the second WT20I were Tumi Sekhukhune (3/31), who now has five wickets across the opening two games, and Chloe Tryon (3/22). Both will be tough to face in Johannesburg.
With the bat, skipper Laura Wolvaardt has been a very consistent performer for a long time at the top of the order and she's targeting a fifth successive international half-century in this game.
Sune Luus also hit 57 runs from 46 balls in the last game and the top order looks very strong.
Laura Wolvaardt Total Runs Over 28.5 @ 1.85
Laura Wolvaardt has scored past 30 runs in the first two matches this series. She is sublime form this series and has absolutely dominated against the Indian bowlers. Given her current run of form, we back Wolvaardt to score over 28 runs in today's match.

There have been some strong individual batting performances from the Indian players so far in the series but they are yet to perform in unison to create the best opportunity for the side to win a game in this series.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur hit 47 runs in the opening game but it is opener Shafali Verma who has been most impressive, beginning the series with 34 before making a half-century on Sunday.
Where the batters have shared the workload so far, it has been only Shreyanka Patil who has impressed with the ball. She took both wickets in Sunday's defeat following figures of 2/26 in the opener.
India Women need performances from across their squad if they are to win this clash!
Shafali Verma Total Runs Over 21.5 @ 1.85
Shafali Verma has scored 34 and 57 runs in the first two T20I's. She is the leading run-scorer for India Women this series with 91 runs in 2 matches. With this being a must win match for India Women, we back Shafali to continue her good run of form and score over 21 runs.
