India vs South Africa prediction

A much-needed century from Tazmin Brits helped lead South Africa to their first victory of the competition on Monday against New Zealand. Chasing 232, the Proteas opener broke the back of her side’s run chase by scoring 101, putting on 159 for the second wicket with Sune Luus, who saw South Africa home for the loss of just four wickets with an unbeaten knock of 83.

However, India represents a different animal of opponent compared to New Zealand. Wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan by 59 runs and 88 runs respectively underlines that. Not only can India accumulate runs right down the order, they’ve ensured that the bowling department is well stocked, giving captain Harmanpreet Kaur multiple options. Playing in home conditions also works in India’s favour and it’s hard not to look beyond them once again in this game.
