Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Match 16, BAN-W vs SA-W Match Preview: Head to Head records, pitch report and more

The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 continues with Bangladesh women (BAN-W) locking horns with South Africa Women (SA-W) in Match 16 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on October 12. 

Bangladesh currently occupy fourth place in the standings with one win and two losses in three matches. As a result, the Bengal Tigers side have two points to their name and a negative Net run rate of 0.835. With the upcoming game being their last group-stage match, they will hope to register a win and have a slim chance of qualifying for the next stage. Nigar Sultana and Co. will also hope the results of other games go their way, making it easy for them to advance to the next stage.

On the other hand, Laura Wolvaardt and her team has also played three games and managed to secure victories on two occasions. With four points to their name, they occupy second place in the standings. If they manage to win the coming game, then their qualifying chances will increase. South Africa also needs to keep the NRR in mind as England, who are currently below them, also have a chance to qualify as they have two more games to be played.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The track at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is well balanced as both batters and bowlers get some assistance from the pitch. The surface has been dry generally but during the evening, the ball skids on a bit better, making batting easy. Opting to bowl first and chasing the target could be a wise decision.
