SA-W Team News
The hosts will have been disappointed to see the arrival of the rain after only 6.5 overs of the second innings of the game in the first WODI as they were in an excellent position. There were no debutants in the opening match of the series and we are not anticipating any in this game either.
SA-W Team Batting
South Africa Women have a very strong top order and this was reflected in the match in East London on Tuesday with the opening pair putting on 94, the second wicket falling with the score on 164 and the third on 204. The top three of skipper Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits and Anneke Bosch all come into this game in strong form.
SA-W Team Bowling
The South Africa Women bowling attack took no wickets across the 6.5 overs in East London although both Marizanne Kapp and Ayabonga Khaka impressed with their economy rates. Look out for left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba who will come into the game the longer Sri Lanka Women’s innings lasts.

SL-W Team News
Ahead of the start of this series, Sri Lanka Women would certainly have taken the option of going into the second match with the score at 0-0. There were positives to take from the opening game but this is set to be a tough match for the visitors.
SL-W Team Batting
Both openers, Vishmi Gunaratne and captain Chamari Athapaththu, got through the almost seven overs before the rain arrived in the first game of the series. Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika Silva and Hasini Perera are all batters who have the ability to make significant contributions.
SL-W Team Bowling
With the exception of right-arm fast medium bowler Achini Kulasuriya, who saw her five wicketless overs go for 37 runs in East London, the rest of Sri Lanka Women’s bowlers impressed. They can expect to get a little bit more assistance from the pitch in this game.
SL-W Team Form
Sri Lanka Women have not won any of their last four WODIs with their last victory in this format in July last year.
SL Women Predicted Playing 11
Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Nilakshika Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Hasini Perera, Sugandika Kumari, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Udeshika Prabodhani, Achini Kulasuriya, Harshitha Samarawickrama
🏆 SA Women vs SL Women Prediction
Sri Lanka Women were competitive in the opening WODI of the series but, apart from the opening batters taking the score to 23/0 inside seven overs, we did not really get to see how their batting order would get on in these conditions. Our prediction is for South Africa Women to be stronger with bat and ball and to go on and win this match.
