South Africa Women vs Ireland Women Match Prediction, 3rd T20I – Who will win today’s match between SA-W vs IRE-W?

South Africa Women vs Ireland Women Match Prediction, 3rd T20I – Who will win today’s match between SA-W vs IRE-W?

For the third T20I of the series, South Africa Women (SA-W) will once again be up against Ireland Women (IRE-W) in a dead rubber contest on Wednesday, December 10, which will be played at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni.

The hosts South Africa came back to the winning track after consecutive wins in the first couple of games. The Laura Wolvaardt-led side opened the series with a win in Cape Town, and carried their confidence for the Paarl encounter, sealing the series in their favour. The upcoming clash will give them an excellent chance to complete a clean sweep over the tourists.

The visiting Ireland have not enjoyed their tour to the African soil, as they lost both the games in quite a one-sided manner. The team has lacked showcasing their power as a unit, which has costed them big time, as they have lost the series. However, a new day will give them a new opportunity to focus on the present and display an awe-inspiring performance, getting a consolation win before heading to the One-Dayers.

Willowmoore Park, Benoni — Pitch Report

In all the seven WT20I matches played at Benoni’s Willowmoore Park, a solid four have been won by the teams who have batted first. A first-inning’s total ranging in excess of anything above 175–180 runs can decide the fate of the match even before the run chase begins, since the pitch has not had a tendency to get better for batting later on. Defending the target can be a crucial determinant for the upcoming encounter as well.

SA-W vs IRE-W Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: Laura Wolvaardt

Hosts’ skipper Laura Wolvaardt has shown in the series why she has been among the best top-order batters going around in international cricket right now. After a scintillating century in the series opener, she contributed yet again in the second encounter, as her side won by another convincing margin. She would like to end the series on a good note with the bat, also helping the side whitewash the Irishwomen.

Probable Best Bowler: Marizanne Kapp

Experienced fast-bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp is one of the rare players who are equally good in both the departments. She bowled only a couple of overs in the second game, but gave away just four runs, which is exceptional in T20 cricket. If she continues to build the pressure on the opposition batters on Wednesday, Kapp is likely to reap the rewards and come out on top as the best bowler in the clash.
