INDW vs SAW 1st T20I probable 11: After winning the three-match ODI series and one-off test match, Indian Women are set to face South African Women to play the first match of the three-match T20I series on July 5 in Chennai.
After losing their ODI and Test titles, South Africa will put all their efforts into winning the T20I trophy to avoid a series whitewash.
On the other hand, aggressive Indian Women will seek to rewrite history by winning the T20I series against South Africa at home. India lost the last home series 1-2 against South Africa, in Lucknow.
Notably, the last bilateral series between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw with the second game washed out.
India women and South Africa Women have so far played 16 T20I games, where the Women in Blue have the upper hand with nine victories while South Africa Women have won only six. The other two matches had no result.
When it comes to playing 11 for the INDW vs SAW 1st T20I, the visitors might have some changes in their lineup. Tryon returns after the injury layoff, and the all-rounder will make it to the XI right away. While Kapp may not yet be fully ready to resume bowling internationally.
Jemimah Rodrigues is expected to make her comeback in today’s match who missed her last T20I assignment recovering from a back injury. But she might not slot back in the No. 3 spot as D Hemalatha retained her place in the squad after her performance against Bangladesh played in April – May this year.
