West Indies Women vs South Africa Women, WIW vs RSAW, Today Match Prediction 19 September 2021

wiw vs rsaw Match Prediction & Analysis

Host West Indies Women have been annihilated in the four games they have played and never looked in a position to challenge the visitors. It was yet another poor show from them in the last game where they failed to chase a victory target of 186 runs and ended up losing the game by 35 runs. 

West Indies batting is looking completely out of form and the side hasn’t been able to go past the 160-run mark in the four games played so far. They look low on confidence now and must produce a special performance to win here. South Africa Women shall look to ride the momentum here and aim at winning the game and the series 5-0. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

West Indies Women Preview

Anisa Mohammed’s team doesn’t seem to have a clue on overcoming the challenge thrown at them by the South Africans. The side has been beaten in all the game comprehensively and let down by the poor form of its batters.  As they play the final game of the series, Mohammad would look to avoid a whitewash at all costs. 

The side would need a good start from Rashada Williams and Reniece Boyce and Williams would need to work on her scoring rate. In the middle order, Deandra Dottin has done well but she would expect good support from Sheneta Grimmond and Hayley Matthews. Down the order, Mohammad, Kycia Knight, and Shabika Gajnabi need to do the scoring. 

Their bowlers haven’t been able to trouble the South Africans so far and tight spells would be expected in this game from Aaliyah Alleyne and Shakera Selman in this game with the new ball. Mohammed must make good use of her experience and the side would also expect good lines from Dottin, Cherry Ann Fraser, and Matthews in this game. 

West Indies Women Predicted Playing XI:

Anisa Mohammed (c), Hayley Matthews, Rashada Williams, Deandra Dottin, Kycia Knight, Reniece Boyce (wk), Shabika Gajnabi, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shakera Selman, Sheneta Grimmond, Aaliyah Alleyne

West Indies Women Actual Playing XI:

South Africa Women Preview

It has been an excellent show from Dane van Niekerk’s side so far on this tour and the skipper would be proud of the way her girls have played so far. They have already won the series 4-0 and a 5-0 whitewash would be icing on the cake. The South African skipper would like to go for the kill in this game.  

Openers Tazmin Brits and Laura Wolvaardt are in good form and the side would like to see a good start from them here. In the middle order, they have players like Lara Goodall, Dane van Niekerk and Mignon du Preez strengthening their batting. Down the order, Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk with their hitting abilities make this batting formidable.

Their bowling has been excellent in all the games, and they have never allowed the hosts to settle down. Shabnim Ismail and Masabata Klaas would aim to grab early wickets in the game. Dane van Niekerk, Nadine de Klerk, and Tryon have also bowled miserly spells and they would look to do the same here. 

South Africa Women Predicted Playing XI:

Dane van Niekerk (c), Tazmin Brits, Laura Wolvaardt, Lara Goodall, Mignon du Preez, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Shabnim Ismail, Masabata Klaas, Nonkululeko Mlaba
