SA-W vs IN-W Dream11 Team Prediction : India Women Vs South Africa Women First T20 Best Dream 11 Team
Advertisement
After a succulent end to their 2018-29 cricketing season, the Indian women cricket team returns to the middle to begin its sortie for the 2019-20 season. With new aspirations, agendas and a bid to continue their authority and supremacy as one of the most revered sides in the fraternity, the team step out to face off against South Africa women for the first of the five T20 encounters slated between the two sides today.
After enduring a dismal T20 WC, the Indian women stepped into the solace of their home comfort, one which saw them trounce England to remind the arena of the immense acumen imbued in the side. The Women’s IPL followed up by the Super Blast in England saw a slew of star performers from the country engage us in succulent cricket, showcasing how the side is in safe hands ahead of its imminent T20 series at home against South Africa.
However, the Indian team will be wary of a South African setup which is ready to match the hosts in every department of the game. Although the side missed out on a plethora of worldclass performers in the bygone warm-up encounter, the comprehensive 96 run win for the visitors manifested how tricky and closely contested this series is going to be for India.
Batting first, South Africa piled on a massive 174 before sending India back to the pavilion for a sorry 91 in the bygone practice match, a fixture which encapsulated the might of this South African side. They akin to India, come bestowed with stalwarts in their ranks, stellar names who know just what it takes to succeed at the highest level and will be looking to go at loggerheads against India in this series.

SA-W vs IN-W Match Prediction
South Africa trounced a sordid Indian side in the warm-up encounter but the main contingent is a massively overhauled outfit. With all the main names returning as we finally get underway with the key action, India will make things extremely jittery for South Africa who’ll find it way tougher to get past them today.
What favours India is not just their spin facet but the depth in the batting order, one which will be more than enough to see the side through and take an early lead in the series today.

We begin with India’s Harleen Deol over here with the all-rounder earning a spot in the Indian side ever since Harmanpreet Kaur was injured against England.
