South Africa Women, fresh off a convincing 2-1 ODI series win over the West Indies, capping it with a resounding 166-run (DLS) victory in the decider- now shift focus to the T20 arena. The Proteas will look to harness their momentum and further assert their dominance in the shorter format.
In that decider, Tazmin Brits smashed a brilliant 101 off 91 balls, anchoring South Africa to a daunting total. The bowlers followed up with clinical precision- Masabata Klaas leading the charge with 4/25, as West Indies were bundled out for just 121. Despite a fighting 43 from Jahzara Claxton, the hosts couldn’t withstand the South African onslaught.
Head-to-Head:
South Africa women have played 170 WT20Is, winning 74c and losing 89. Playing against West Indies, they have won 7 playing 22. West Indies have played 187 matches, winning 94 and losing 84. Notably, in their last five T20 encounters, West Indies have generally held the upper hand; however, South Africa have claimed three of the most recent meetings.
The ODI triumph gives South Africa confidence, but past T20 results illustrate that West Indies remain formidable in this format. With this series set to commence on 20 June, it promises high tension as both teams seek to seize early control of the T20 series.
