Preview
Tuesday, April 9 at Buffalo Park in East London will see the opening encounter of the three-match ODI series between South Africa Women and Sri Lanka Women (SA-W vs SL-W). South Africa is now looking to exact retribution in the 50-over format after losing the T20 series 2-1. In the meantime, the visitors hope to send the rainbow nation off on a good note after winning a historic series in the shortest format, which has given them a lot of confidence.
The first Twenty20 International was won by the hosts by 79 runs, but Sri Lanka recovered to win the next two matches by six and four wickets, respectively. Player of the Match went to Proteas opener Laura Wolvaardt, who ended up scoring the most runs (158) in the series. After hitting 73 off 46 in the series decider against a target of 156, ace all-rounder Chamari Athapaththu of Sri Lanka was named Player of the Match.
Based on past performance, the Wolvaardt-led South Africa is probably going to win the opening ODI. In their 20 encounters with South Africa, SL-W has only triumphed in two of them. But you can’t discount the Asian team as favorites because they put up a fantastic show in the just finished T20I series. Let’s look at pitch reports, fantasy teams, top picks, likely starting lineups, and much more.
