Theertha has displayed sublime form in this campaign, registering scores of 45*, 30, and 41, and though she departed for 3 in her most recent outing, she can be relied upon to lead the scoring.

Samaira Dharnidharka

The 17-year-old pacer, from 46 T20I innings, has picked up 41 wickets, with the best of 4/5, maintaining an economy rate of 5.53, while also being handy with the bat on a few occasions. Samaira has had a quiet campaign thus far, recording figures of 0/16 (2), 0/27 (2), and 0/14 (2). She should be backed to find her rhythm and make her way back amongst the wickets.

Kelis Ndhlovu

The 18-year-old all-rounder, from 40 T20Is, has accumulated 644 runs at a strike rate of 96.40 and taken 38 wickets at an economy rate of 5.72, with bests of 58* and 3/12. In this series, while Kelis has managed a couple of starts, she has taken two wickets from four outings and will hopefully capitalize on this momentum, delivering the goods.

Kudzai Chigora

The 18-year-old pacer, from 6 T20Is, has bagged 8 wickets, maintaining an economy rate of 7.31, with the best of 5/7. Carrying her momentum from a recent T20 competition, Kudzai had an outstanding start to this series, producing bowling figures of 5/7 and 1/16. While she remained wicketless in her recent outings, she can be counted on for breakthroughs.

Pitch:

The Wanderers Cricket Ground wicket is a low-scoring one that typically favors bowlers, especially spinners. While the 22-yard strip has a somewhat neutral character, the average score remains in the 110s, indicating it is a challenging venue for batters.

Weather:

The conditions in Windhoek are expected to be pleasant for the game, with clear, bright skies and a minimal chance of rain. The temperature is forecasted to be around 29°C, with light winds and humidity at 15%.
