In the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, Match 3 takes place on Friday, October 4, in Dubai as the South African Women (SA-W) face off against the Women’s West Indies (WI-W) at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. South Africa is looking forward to extending the winning run as the main event approaches. The last five Twenty Twenty Internationals, the Proteas, have been able to win two and lose one.
However, South Africa must respect the T20I record of the West Indies. The 2016 champions have won three out of the last five Twenty20 Internationals. They also made a trip to Sri Lanka before the World Cup and lost the One Day International series, but came back winning the T20I 2-1.
Hence, both teams will be looking to get off to a good start in the competition, so this match is likely to be very thrilling. The West Indies will have the advantage of their T20 experience and skills, while the South African side will draw strength from their previous wins.
Both teams’ star players will be scrutinized as they compete for early tournament momentum. With the entire cricket world watching, an explosive match between these two powerful teams is going to take place.
