The fifth and the penultimate match of the ongoing Women’s T20I Tri-series in South Africa will see the hosts locking horns with team India on Saturday, January 28.

While the Women in Blue emerged victorious in their fixtures against South Africa and West Indies in the first two games, the Proteas secured two wins against the West Indies to find a spot in the finals of the event. 

Speaking about their head-to-head clash in the shortest format, India have the upper hand with nine wins as compared with South Africa;s four in a total of 14 meetings. India has asserted their dominance over the Proteas in the previous clash and will be on the lookout to add another win under their belt.

Pitch and Conditions

The strip at the Buffalo Park in East London has something in it for the batters. However, pacers may get some assistance, making it tricky for the batters to get the big runs. Any score between 120-140 in the first innings will be a competitive total of defend on this track.
