Ready to get underway with a long and testing T20 and ODI series, one which will see India and South Africa go at loggerheads with each other, the two outfits beginning preparations today as they look to acclimatise themselves with each other. Two warm-up T20 encounters have been slated between the two sides with the first scheduled for Friday, a match which brings an excellent opportunity to tune their sides and try out the best plausible combination for either side.
For hosts India, this series sees the side and its players return to the international arena after a good hiatus at home. The last time they had the privilege of contesting in India was against England with the side trouncing them across both the formats, a rousing showing they’ll be looking to resonate come this series as well which will see them contest 5 T20s and 3 ODIs against South Africa.
Elsewhere, the visitors join their men counterparts who are already in India with the three match T20 series between them and India currently underway. With a slew of their players partaking in the final edition of the Super League in England, the team come bestowed with an immense acumen, knowing just what it takes to succeed at the highest level. Its knowledge they’ll be looking to use in their favour as they look to thrive against India, a side who are revered for their tenacity and pulsating brand of cricket.
Today’s warm-up T20 will see both the sides play their full set of players as they look to try out each one and given them much needed time out in the middle. Expect this a match where both sides play with freedom, expressing themselves freely as they look make the most of the chance accorded to them before the real competition regales us.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
Being a morning clash, the side winning the toss will be looking to field first over here before the sun comes out and nicely settles the wicket in.

SA-W vs BPXI-W Match Prediction
Ever since the debacle of the T20 World Cup last year, the Indian cricket team did extremely well to quell notions of the side waning in form with them trouncing England at home earlier in February. With a better knowhow of the conditions at hand and a slew of worldclass performers at their disposal, India should be able to ease their way to a comprehensive result today.

SA-W vs BPXI-W Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
We have gone in with all the three available options with each bat available in this sector bound to step out and get a good hit in the middle. We’ll begin with our duo from the visitors, opting for Lizelle Lee and Sinalo Jafta while Lee standing tall in her side with her bygone displays in England recently.
Elsewhere from the home side we have decided to incur in the services of their captain, Sushma Verma for today’s imminent clash. Her last three matches in the T20 format saw her score 47 runs, quick innings where she showed ample glimpses of what she’s capable of.
SA-W vs BPXI-W Dream11 Batswomen
We continue to pick of names from India’s batting order, brining is Shafali Verma and Vellaswamy Vanitha. Shafali saw herself be inducted in India’s side after some imperious displays in the Women’s T20 Challenge, stepping out fearlessly to dismiss bowlers with disdain from our sight.
Our only pick from South Africa constitutes of Mignon du Preez, the foundation of their batting order, a bat who has persistently revelled us in some articulate showings with the bat.
SA-W vs BPXI-W Dream11 All-Rounders
We have selected both our picks from the visiting side for today’s encounter with South Africa according more importance to their all-rounders, given the speciality of the players lining up this unit. In Sune Luus and Nadine de Klerk, the side have two players who make for a daunting partnership, players who’ll manifest their skill set in unison today as well.
SA-W vs BPXI-W Dream11 Bowling Order
Time for us to compensate our bowling order with the picks from India, making Mansi Joshi and Devika Vaidya our picks over here. South Africa will find it tough to get going in Indian conditions and Devika’s leg spin, moving away from the right handed heavy batting order of the opposition will see her get a slew of wickets.
With 89 wickets in 79 matches in t20s, Shabnim Ismail from SA completes our set of picks for today.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Sushma is picked out as our captain for this one while we are making Lizelle the vice-captain.
