South Africa Women will take on India Women in the third T20I of the five-match series on April 22 at The Wanderers Stadium.

The Proteas Women have started the series strongly, winning the first two matches. They successfully chased targets in both games, with skipper Laura Wolvaardt leading from the front on both occasions. The hosts will now aim to seal the series and lift the trophy in style.

On the other hand, India Women have struggled to find the right combination and momentum. The batting unit has looked fragile, with wickets falling cheaply, while the bowlers have shown more discipline but without enough support from the batters. The Women in Blue will be eager to bounce back and keep the series alive by securing a win in the third T20I.

The Wanderers Stadium is known for its batting-friendly surface, where batters generally enjoy good support throughout the game. The pitch offers consistent bounce and pace, making stroke play easier, especially for the top order. However, chasing big totals can still be tricky at this venue. As a result, teams winning the toss often prefer to bat first and put up a strong total on the board, allowing their bowlers to apply pressure in the second innings.

Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Anushka Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Kranti Gaud

Laura Wolvaardt is expected to carry her strong form into the third T20I for the home side. She has scored 105 runs in two matches, including two half-centuries. Her controlled aggression at the top provides great stability to the team and has played a key role in helping them chase targets comfortably.

Tumi Sekhukhune could be a key bowler in this clash for the home side. The right-arm pacer has taken five wickets in two matches, consistently putting pressure on opposition batters. Her spells have been difficult to read, making it challenging for batters to score freely against her.
