THE PREDICTION

This is the match of reckoning for Mithali Raj and her Indian teammates, who know that just like in their final group match of the 2017 World Cup, only a win will take them through to the semi-finals with England not expected to slip up against Bangladesh. South Africa stand in their way and whilst the Proteas lost their unbeaten record in this competition at the hands of Australia last time out, they remain a dangerous opponent who have hugely impressed out in New Zealand. However, South Africa’s place in the semi-finals is secure and it would be no surprise to not see them perform at the high levels in which they are capable of here against India, as they save themselves for the semi-finals to come. With that in mind, the smart play is to back India to repeat the high levels of performance they showed against Bangladesh this past Tuesday and record their most important win of the competition so far, which would likely condemn West Indies to elimination assuming England also triumph in their final group match.
