They set a target of 214 runs in 20 overs after a splendid performance with the bat. Pakistan was never in the game as they managed only 99 runs while losing 9 wickets.

ENG-W vs SA-W Semi Final-II Probable Winners:

In this do-or-die contest, both teams will have a go at each other and press hard for a win. At this stage, it is difficult to predict an obvious winner. England-W would be riding high on confidence after winning 4 out of 4 fixtures. They would appear to be a much-relaxed side after knowing that they have an impressive record against Proteas Women in WT20I. However, by looking at England-W’s unbeaten record in this year’s World Cup, we expect England-W to sneak in with a narrow win in this closely contested encounter. Considering the team combination, England-W is expected to win this match.

South Africa were in all sorts of trouble before the World Cup. They had some key players including their captain miss out on fitness issues and there was some criticism around them. The side though has managed to pull through brilliantly as they find themselves in the Semi-Finals. South Africa though, traditionally are not good when it comes to knock out games. With the famous C word a big part of their history, South Africa will hope the word does not haunt them in the upcoming game.

England, favorites after Australia once again look comfortable. They played some good cricket, led the way in the group stage and now seem favorites to walk into yet another Final with Australia, unless there is a change in script by India or South Africa.

Key Players

Shabnim Ismail

Shabnim Ismail is one of the faster bowlers going around in Women’s Cricket. She is aggressive and effective with her speed, and will have a task on hand against England’s openers. With South Africa needing a win badly, a strong four overs from her will help open up the game and get South Africa into a good position.

Katherine Brunt

Katherine Brunt is a very experienced bowler and loves starting in the big stage. She impressed with the new ball against Sri Lanka, and is known to make silent contributions. She took a wicket, and is pretty economical, which sets up an interesting battle with Laura Wolvaardt.

Eng-W vs SA-W Match Tips

Both sides are pretty strong and capable medal contenders. Each team possesses players who can make an impact on the game, and it will be interesting to see who grabs their moments well. Although SA are coming off a loss, they may have a slight advantage given their bowling attack and the names in their batting line-up

Match Prediction: SA-W Will Win the Match
