THE PREDICTION
This represents a tough start for South Africa, with Sri Lanka having proved over the past year that they are no pushovers. However, the latter are yet to make it to the latter stages of the Women’s T20 World Cup and playing in matches of this magnitude represent a huge test for many of their players not experienced in playing T20 leagues around the world. South Africa will miss the presence of Van Niekerk, whose leadership abilities, not to mention her skills with bat and ball make the hosts a poorer side without her. Despite that, they still contain a number of match-winners in the form of Sune Luus, Laura Wolvaardt, Shabnim Ismail and of course Marizanne Kapp, who has understandably voiced her disappointment publicly regarding her wife’s T20 World Cup omission. When taking this into account alongside home advantage being in their favour, South Africa should do enough to overcome Sri Lanka in this Women’s T20 World Cup curtain-raiser.
