Only team to have not lost a league match, India finished at the top of the points table with seven points to their name from four matches. South Africa, on the other hand, finished a position below their opponents in the final on the back of winning two and losing one league match.
Not just another final, it will also be the last match for both these teams before ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. Hence, it is needless to say that both South Africa and India would be desperate to enter a world event by winning their last match.
