England Women (ENG-W) will lock in with South Africa Women (SA-W) in Match No. 9 of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on October 7.

After this win, they are in second position of the group points table with a positive Net Run Rate of 0.773.
On the other hand, South Africa women have also begun their campaign on a high as they are coming off a convincing 10-wicket victory over West Indies Women. After asking the Windies to bat first, the Hayley Matthews-led side were restricted to 118/6. In reply, the opening pair of Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits put on a match-winning opening stand to help their side get two crucial points and hold the pole position in the points table.
Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Sharjah surface is known to assist both batters and bowlers alike. The pitch tends to be fast-paced at the start and will begin to slow down as the match progresses. The small boundaries help the batters accumulate runs quickly, and clearing the boundary at this venue is relatively easy. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first.

Maia Bouchier, Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight(c), Amy Jones(w), Danielle Gibson, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlotte Dean, Sarah Glenn, Linsey Smith

Probable Top Performers from ENG-W vs SA-W
Probable Best Batter: Laura Wolvaardt
South Africa Women’s skipper Laura Wolvaardt could be the probable best batter in the upcoming game against England Women. The opening batter had a great start to the World Cup as she smashed a match-winning 59* in their tournament opener against West Indies Women. Wolvaardt stitched an unbeaten 119-run partnership with Tazmin Brits to help her side secure a comfortable 10-wicket victory. The 25-year-old will be hoping to do the same in the upcoming game.
Probable Best Bowler: Linsey Smith
England Women’s spinner Linsey Smith could be the best bowler in his side’s forthcoming game against the Proteas. The left-arm spinner had a good outing with the ball in the side’s first game against the Bangladesh Women. In her quota of four overs, she scalped two wickets and was conceded just 11 runs. Smith will play a crucial role in her side’s next game.
