T20 World Cup Match 4: ENG-W vs SA-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | ENG-W vs SA-W Dream11 Prediction Today | WACA Pitch Report | England Women vs South Africa Women Preview Dream11 | ENG-W vs SA-W Key Players
After a double header in Perth on Saturday, we move to arguably the most anticipated match of Group B.
England, perennial runners-up, will be looking to go one better this time around. They have an excellent core of players, led by in-form captain Heather Knight and terrific all-rounder Nat Sciver. So, can England make a strong start in their push for the Title?
South Africa have won just eight of 23 World T20 matches. However, the experience in their squad can hold them in good stead – eight of the 15-member squad have been on the international circuit for over 10 years. So, can South Africa overcome higher-ranked England and West Indies in Group B?
