South Africa Women will face India Women in the second T20I of the five-match series on April 19 at Kingsmead, Durban.

South Africa Women head into the clash with confidence after a six-wicket win in the opening game, powered by a fine half-century from Laura Wolvaardt and a three-wicket haul by Ayabonga Khaka. The hosts will look to build on that momentum and take a 2-0 lead in the series.

India Women, on the other hand, showed promise with the ball but fell short with the bat. They will be eager to bounce back strongly and level the series.

Kingsmead Cricket Ground is typically a seamer-friendly venue, offering good bounce and noticeable movement off the pitch, especially with the new ball. However, once batters settle in, the surface tends to play true, allowing for fluent stroke-making. It’s advisable for batters to spend some time getting their eye in rather than playing aggressively from the outset.

Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Laura Wolvaardt (c), Annerie Dercksen, Anneke Bosch, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Ayabonga Khaka, Tumi Sekhukhune, Nonkululeko Mlaba

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Kashvee Gautam, Shreyanka Patil, Renuka Singh Thakur, Shree Charani

Laura Wolvaardt, the South Africa Women captain, could be the standout batter in this clash. She looked in fine touch with a half-century in the opening game and will aim to continue that form. Her contribution at the top will be crucial in setting the tone and could play a key role in guiding her team to a second consecutive win in the series.

Shreyanka Patil, the right-arm spinner, could be a key bowler in this clash. She picked up two wickets in her four-over spell in the previous game and was impressive with her economy as well. If she manages to maintain that control and apply pressure again in the second T20I, her spell could significantly influence the course of the match.
