T20 World Cup Match 20: SA-W vs WI-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SA-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction Today | South Africa Women vs West Indies Women Preview Dream11 | SA-W vs WI-W Key Players

Looking at the fixtures of this T20 World Cup, the final game of the group stage looked to be a cracker.

South Africa and West Indies were considered to be England’s two biggest challengers in Group B. However, as it has turned out, only one of these two sides has played anywhere near good enough cricket.

That has been South Africa. They, along with India, remain the two unbeaten sides so far. More importantly, they have the chance to finish top of the group, which is vital given the rain threat in Sydney this week, which is where the Semi Finals will be played.

West Indies have been poor. They were shaky against Thailand, and have since been unable to shake off the rust, losing their last two games to end their hopes. The 2016 Champions have work to do, and there is no better time than now to start.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

• Deandra Dottin is an outstanding cricketer. However, her return from injury has not been a happy one, having been dismissed for a single digit score in every game this tournament.
• However, she has the most runs in WI-SA T20Is: 440, avg. 40.00. With Stafanie Taylor ruled out, Dottin needs to step up.
• Mignon du Preez is South Africa’s highest run-scorer vs West Indies (272, avg. 18.13).
• Lizelle Lee has a century to her name so far this tournament, and was the fifth-highest run-scorer in last year’s WBBL.
• Dane van Niekerk started the tournament with 46 vs England. Since then, though, she has made just two and three. Also, can she improve on her average of 15 in 14 games vs West Indies?
• Marizanne Kapp returned from illness last game and made an impact. Her 31 (32) steadied the ship after a shaky start.
• But, the star of the last game was Laura Wolvaardt (53* off 36 balls). Also, Wolvaardt does have a half century vs WI in four games against them, with an overall average of 31.33.
• Shemaine Campbelle is West Indies’ second-highest run-scorer this tournament with 69, avg. 34.50 (scores: 25*, 43, 1).
• Anisa Mohammed has the second-most wickets in SA-WI T20Is (21). Shabnim Ismail is next with 13.
• Afy Fletcher has taken one wicket in each of her three games in this tournament so far (1/11, 1/21, 1/29).
• Shabnim Ismail has five wickets in three games for South Africa this tournament. Dane van Niekerk is next with four, followed by Sune Luus and Ayabonga Khaka with three.

Stats and Facts

• West Indies have a great record vs South Africa: 13 wins in 18 matches.

• Stafanie Taylor is out of this match with a groin injury.
