The fifth match of the Tri-series will be contested on January 28th at Buffalo Park in East London between South Africa and India. After winning two games in the series, both teams qualified for the finals. While India has defeated both South Africa and the West Indies once thus far in the series, South Africa defeated the West Indies twice to knock them out of the race to the summit clash after losing their first game against India. The two teams will play again in the final on February 2, and the upcoming game will serve as a warm-up for them.
The Women in Blue are undefeated in the tri-series thus far and will try to continue their winning streak. South Africa, on the other hand, would be seeking to avenge their recent setback against India. In the grand scheme of things, it’s another chance for the sides to hone their preparations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, which will be held in the same country in February. India will begin as possible favourites after defeating South Africa in the first round.

When Harmanpreet Kaur gets going, bowlers all over the world have virtually little chance of stopping her. The West Indian bowling attack got a taste of it as she smashed an unbeaten 35-ball 56 in India’s second game of the tri-series. South Africa will rely on veteran Masabata Klaas to halt the Indian captain tonight. The seamer has been in fantastic form this series and might face Harmanpreet, who bowls as either a first- or second-change bowler. Harmanpreet enjoys taking on the game, which provides the bowling side with a wicket-taking opportunity.
