South Africa Women will look to secure their place in the top two in Group B as they take on Bangladesh Women at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium this Saturday in the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. South Africa are currently in the number two position with 4 points from three games and a net run rate of 1.527. However, England Women and West Indies Women, who are at number three and one, respectively, are breathing down their necks. Therefore, the South Africans will be looking to a thumping win in this game to remain in the top two.

Bangladesh Women started the tournament with an impressive win over Sri Lanka Women. However, two back-to-back defeats – against England and West Indies – have jolted their chances of going ahead. Their NRR too stands at a poor -0.835 and now they have virtually no hope of making it to the semis.
Bangladesh’s main issue is their batting. Except for Sobhana Mostary (96 runs in 3 innings at 89), no batter has seemed capable of settling in and adjusting to the match situation effectively. Captain Nigar Sultana has had some encouraging starts, yet she struggles to sustain her performance, which consequently exposes the vulnerable lower middle order prematurely.
Bangladesh's bowlers have performed brilliantly, making great use of the conditions. A big shoutout to Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun, and Ritu Moni for their excellent work in the matches played so far. Akter and Khatun can spin a web around South Africa’s batters, who aren’t the best players of spin bowling.
Rabeya Khan is another one worth backing.

After a crushing loss against England, South Africa Women got their campaign back on track with a dominating 80-run victory over Scotland Women. That win has boosted South Africa’s chances of qualifying for the semi-finals. But with two more teams in the fray, they need to secure a big win here to give themselves the best shot at qualification.
In the previous game, South Africa’s three main batting stalwarts - Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, and Marizanne Kapp – all got crucial 40s. This is a great sign for the team as the three form the bedrock of their batting unit.
Wolvaardt now is the team’s leading run-getter in this World Cup with 141 runs in 3 innings at an average of 70.5 and a strike rate of 116.5.
The bowling department has been led by Nonkululeko Mlaba, who has 8 wickets from 3 innings at an economy of 5.25. Marizanne Kapp and Nadine de Klerk have done a commendable job as well, taking 3 wickets each.

The slow and spin-friendly pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is set to pose a challenge for batters. The surface offers considerable assistance to spin bowlers, allowing the ball to grip and turn in their favor. As a result, batters will need to employ a more cautious approach, focusing on hitting through the gaps rather than relying on powerful strokes. The most favorable time for batting will be during the powerplay overs, where the pitch is relatively more responsive. If they can set a tempo early on and not lose many wickets, then the batting team can post a healthy total. However, as the game progresses and the pitch slows down, batting will become increasingly demanding.
The weather in Dubai during the match will be hot and humid. There is no chance of rain, so we will get a full game.

Average TurnThis is likely to be another low-scoring game. The pitch is slow, and the boundaries are long. Scoring fours and sixes won’t be easy. If South Africa bat first, they will target a score of around 150-160 runs. If Bangladesh bat first, they will hope to touch a score of 120 or thereabouts, provided they bat well. Batting isn’t their main strength, so they can also struggle to cross 100 runs if their top-order doesn’t fire.
At the time of writing, two of three evening matches played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in this World Cup have been won comfortably by the team batting first. Thus, we reckon both teams will look to bat first here.
South Africa Women have dominated Bangladesh Women in recent times, securing wins in three of their last four T20Is. These conditions, however, will help Bangladesh’s spin bowlers, and they will challenge South Africa’s batters. If they lose a few early wickets, they can struggle to score off-spin in the middle overs. However, Bangladesh’s batting unit is weak, and overall, South Africa looks a lot more organized. Thus, we are backing them to clinch this clash.
South Africa Women are favorites to win this match.
