South Africa Women will take on India Women in the fifth T20I on April 27 at Willowmoore Park, Benoni.

South Africa Women have already sealed the series, having won the first three matches convincingly. However, they suffered a defeat in the fourth game and will be eager to bounce back strongly and finish the series with a 4-1 scoreline.

India Women, after losing the first three matches, showed resilience in the fourth T20I. Deepti Sharma played a crucial all-round role to guide the team to their first win of the series. They will now aim to build on that momentum and secure another victory, hoping to end the series on a positive note at 3-2.

The pitch at Willowmoore Park, Benoni, tends to favor the team bowling first. Batters are required to apply themselves and build their innings patiently, as scoring freely can be challenging. Any lapse in concentration could lead to wickets falling cheaply. The conditions are particularly supportive for bowlers, who can exploit the surface with disciplined lines and well-planned setups. With assistance on offer, bowlers are likely to find success and play a decisive role in the outcome of the match.

Laura Wolvaardt (c), Sune Luus, Tazmin Brits, Annerie Dercksen, Kayla Reyneke, Chloe Tryon, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Eliz-mari Marx, Ayabonga Khaka, Tumi Sekhukhune, Nonkululeko Mlaba

Shafali Verma, Anushka Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Bharti Fulmali, Deepti Sharma, Kashvee Gautam, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur

Sune Luus could be the key batter in this clash, having scored 174 runs in four matches so far. Her consistency at the top has been vital for South Africa, and her performance will once again play a crucial role in shaping the flow of the game. If she manages to anchor the innings and build momentum, she has the ability to take the game away from the opposition and guide her team to a strong total.

Deepti Sharma could be the key bowler in this contest. The experienced all-rounder delivered an outstanding performance in the fourth T20I, claiming a five-wicket haul that played a major role in India’s comeback victory. Her ability to control the game with the ball and pick up crucial wickets makes her a vital asset. Another impactful spell from her could prove decisive in the final T20I and help India secure a second win in the series.
