ICC Women's World Cup 2022, Match 21: South Africa Women vs Australia Women - Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

The Aussies will look to extend their unbeaten run.

South Africa Women will take on Australia Women at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in the 21st match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.

Australia, led by Meg Lanning, have already made their way through to the next round. Having won all five of their matches, they haven’t put a foot wrong in the ongoing edition of the mega event. They will go into the match on the back of a six-wicket win over Mithali Raj’s India.

Having lost the toss and asked to field, Darcie Brown gave the Aussies an excellent start, dismissing Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Yastika Bhatia cheaply. However, India recovered to post a competitive total of 277.

Alyssa Healy’s 72 and Meg Lanning’s 97 laid the platform for the run-chase. Later, Beth Mooney showed nerves of steel to take the Aussies over the line.

Morning, Aussie fans! 😁
