On January 14, the first day of the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, India Women and South Africa Women will clash in the third match at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. Both the Proteas led by Oluhle Siyo and the Women in Blue led by Shafali Verma will be looking to get off to a good start.
Six Twenty20 International matches were played between India U19 and South Africa U19 prior to the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup. India won the remaining four matches to secure a crushing 4-0 series victory, despite the fact that two games were abandoned without a single ball being bowled. India will be favored to win the match due to their experience playing the team and defeating them.

Dream11 Team Prediction Today, Fantasy Cricket Picks,
Wicket-Keeper Richa Ghosh (9.0 Cr) has a lot of experience because of how well she bats. She has scored 339 runs in the last seven T20I innings, which is supported by how well she plays behind the stumps.
Elandri Janse Van Rensburg, a 7.5 Cr batsman, has scored 750 runs in 19 T20 innings, which suggests that she may be able to establish herself as a key top-order batsman for the team.
With her brilliant power-hitting potential and brilliant partnerships, Soumya Tiwari (9.5 Cr) has contributed significantly to this competition, scoring 892 runs.
All-rounder Ayanda Hlubi (8.5 Cr) has scored 327 runs at a strike rate of 91.59 and taken 16 wickets, making her a potential game-changer despite her lack of experience.
Shafali Verma (9.0 Cr) is our top pick because she is a responsible member of the team with a lot of experience and the ability to consistently score runs and take wickets, as she demonstrated in her most recent tournament.
Bowler Seshnie Naidu (9.0 Cr) has earned 154 runs at a strike rate of 82.19 and 32 wickets in 10 T20 matches, making her a crucial player. Bowler Jemma Botha (8.0 Cr) has recently improved her performance to bring new blood to the South African team, making it possible for her to take crucial wickets.
Sonam Yadav (8.5 Cr), a brilliant talent who has taken 13 wickets in her last four matches, has the potential to make an impact in this crucial match and improve her performance.
With a total of 10 wickets in five T20 matches, Archana Devi (8.5 Cr) has the ability to contain the opposition, which should inspire her to give this match everything she has.
Captain and Vice-Captain
