IN-W vs SA-W Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 2nd Women’s T20I Match - Mar 21, 2021
India Women will lock horns with South Africa Women in the 2nd T20I at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
After winning the ODI series 4-1, South Africa Women went on to dominate their counterparts in the 1st T20I as well. They comfortably chased down 131 runs on the back of an unbeaten half-century by Anne Bosch (66*) and won the match with eight wickets and four balls to spare.
All-rounder Anne Bosch was adjudged player of the match for her brilliant bowling figures of 2/11 coupled with a quickfire half-century (66*). The Sune Luus-led side will be hoping to keep the momentum alive and pick up a win from this game to seal the T20I series.
India Women, on the other hand, will have to take confidence from a promising start in the 1st T20I. Harmanpreet Kaur's absence came as a big blow for the hosts in the previous game. Now, Smriti Mandhana is also doubtful to feature in the Playing XI after suffering an injury during the 1st T20I match. With all the misfortune going around, the hosts will be hoping to bounce back and level the series by picking up a win from this game.
Even after losing the T20I series opener, the hosts are the odds-on favorites to come up with a win on Sunday. All in all, another enticing contest beckons in Lucknow, with some of the best players in the world taking the field.
