Get ready for an exciting encounter as South Africa Women (SA-W) take on New Zealand Women (NZ-W) in the 2nd T20I of the New Zealand Women tour of South Africa 2023 at Buffalo Park in East London. South Africa Women come into this T20I series on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 victory in the ODI series against New Zealand Women. The 1st T20I encounter was unfortunately abandoned due to rain, so both teams will be keen to make a strong statement in this match.

South Africa Women's last T20I series against Pakistan Women ended in a 3-0 defeat. In their last match, Pakistan Women edged out South Africa Women by a mere six runs. Laura Wolvaardt's explosive 72-run innings was a standout performance, highlighting her ability to take charge of the game. Tumi Sekhukhune's impactful bowling, which earned her two crucial wickets, was another highlight.

On the other hand, New Zealand Women had a successful T20I series against Sri Lanka Women, which they clinched 2-1. However, they faced a setback in their last match, suffering a 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka Women. Sophie Devine's dynamic 46-run innings and Suzie Bates' resilient 37-run contribution were the standout performances, showcasing their potential to dominate the game.
