In the fifth and final T20I of the ongoing series between New Zealand Women and South Africa Women, the Hagley Oval in Christchurch will be the host to a fierce contest on Wednesday, March 25. The game is set to be a dead rubber one, as the hosts have already gained an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match assignment while the visiting South African side has faced a harsh disappointment.

The Amelia Kerr-led New Zealand team has been in a great run of form. They opened the series with a massive 80-run win against the Proteas but were outplayed in the following encounter. However, the White Ferns overcame the loss quickly and won the third and fourth matches to claim the series at home, ensuring happiness for their fans. They will look to end the series with yet another win and assert their dominance.

South Africa Women, on the other hand, have looked pale and a lot weaker, despite boasting a quality squad filled with skilled players across departments. After facing back-to-back losses in the series, the Laura Wolvaardt-led side will be hoping to sign off the T20Is with a win before the action moves on to the One-Day Internationals.

Will be updated, if any.

The pitch at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch will be the host to the fifth and final match of the series, and is expected to dish out a batting-friendly surface for this riveting contest. Team winning the toss should opt to bowl first, since the pitch isn’t expected to change a lot throughout the course of the match. Pacers are likely to dominate early on, however, the spinners will find help towards the fag end of the innings.
