TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
South Africa Women weren’t up to par in the first match of the series. Asked to bat first on a good T20 wicket at Manuka Oval, they mustered just 147-6 on the board. Only Tazmin Brits stood out, with a sublime unbeaten knock of 59 off 54 balls. None of the other batters could even go past the 20-run mark.
With the likes of Laura Wolvaard and Marizanne Kapp in their top-order, the team would expect a much better start in this game. We are backing Wolvaard to make an impact as she has been in pretty good flow, accumulating 299 runs in her last 8 matches at an average of almost 50 and a strike rate of close to 120.
As for the bowling, Marizanne Kapp and Nadine de Klerk were economical, but to trouble this formidable Australian batting unit they need someone who can take regular wickets. Perhaps right-arm seamer Masabata Klaas can do that in the next fixture.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp, Sune Luus, Anneke Bosch, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka

South Africa Women Preview
Australia Women made light work of the 148-run target in the first T20I, and chased it down with 8 wickets in hand and five balls remaining. The experienced opening duo of Beth Mooney (72* off 57 balls) and skipper Alyssa Healy (46 off 28 balls) ensured there were no hiccups in the chase.
With these two at the top, and Tahlia McGrath, Ellyse Perry, Phoebe Litchfield , and Ashleigh Gardner, Australia have easily the strongest batting unit in women’s T20 cricket. It would require a herculean effort to dismantle this batting order.
Watch out for Ellyse Perry in the next game. She has scored 275 runs in her last 10 matches at an average of 45.83 and a strike rate of 146.27.
On the bowling side, Australia are spoiled with plenty of options. In the previous game, Darcie Brown and Ellyse Perry took two wickets each, while the others kept things quiet. Leg-spinner Georgia Wareham is another bowler who can have a good game here as the pitch tends to help spinners a bit in the middle overs.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Manuka Oval in Canberra offers benefits for both batters and fast bowlers. Once batters see off the new ball and have got used to the pace of the wicket, they can make a big score here. Spinners will get help once the pitch has settled down a little.
The weather in Canberra will bright and sunny throughout the day. We should get a full game here.
AUSW vs RSAW Pitch Report
The average score batting first at Manuka Oval is 153. The pitch tends to get better to bat on as the game progresses, so the team batting first must look to set a target of around 160 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Manuka Oval usually favors the fielding side, as evidenced in the first match of this series played here. It’s likely that the toss-winning captain will choose to bat second here.
AUSW vs RSAW
Winning Prediction
Australia Women have won each of their last five T20Is against South Africa Women. In fact, South Africa Women are yet to beat Australia Women in the T20I format. And given the way things went in the first T20I, this record is unlikely to be broken soon. Australia are just too strong, particularly at home. South Africa’s top order will need to fire big time if they hope to challenge this super-strong Australian unit at home.
Australia Women are favorites to win the second T20I and take the series.
