India Women vs South Africa Women Match Prediction, 3rd T20I - Who will win today’s match?

Preview

In the T20I leg of the all-format tour, South Africa Women's (SA-W) performance has been vastly unimaginable to all, considering their struggles in the ODI and the one-off Test match preceding it. No one in their dreams would have imagined them to play the way they have during the first two games. Now presented with a tangible chance to salvage their efforts and conclude their Indian tour on a positive note, they stand on the brink of substantial restoration should they prevail in the upcoming third T20I against India Women (IND-W) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on July 9, 2024.

The Indian team has displayed a discernible lack of precision with the ball during the two innings played by the Proteas in the ongoing T20I series, conceding 189 and 177 respectively. Their lack of incisiveness on the field has proven costly, leaving them eager for a substantial resurgence to restore equilibrium and secure a series share, contingent upon weather conditions which, as witnessed in the second T20I, ultimately resulted in the game being washed out.

Given South Africa's first innings dominance and India's inability to contain their batters as they likely intended, the third T20I might witness Harmanpreet Kaur & Co. opting to bat first should they win the toss.

Pitch Report

The nature of the pitch in the upcoming third T20I is expected to remain consistent. Dew did not influence the first two games, as the outfield remained dry throughout. The Chepauk track was noted for slowing down as the match progressed, providing ample assistance to spinners with significant purchase available. Pursuing a target could present a formidable challenge, regardless of the team batting second.
