With the two finalists already confirmed for the last game of this Tri-Series, some might expect an element of two teams just going through the motions in this game on Friday.
But that would be unfair on both Sri Lanka Women and South Africa Women who, for differing reasons, have motivations to put in strong performances in Colombo.
For starters, Sri Lanka Women will be using this game to get ready for Sunday's final against India Women and they have been impressive while beating both of the other sides in the Tri-Series in their last two games.
Equally, South Africa Women will feel that they have under-performed in this tournament and they will be determined to bow out of the series with at least one victory.

Sunday's victory for Sri Lanka Women over India Women was unexpected and historic as it was their second highest successful chase and only their third ever win in a head to head in this format.
Credit went across the team from Sugandika Kumari and Chamari Athapaththu taking three wickets each as Sri Lanka Women restricted India Women to 275/9, but the truth is that there was still plenty to be done by the batters.
All of the top six made useful contributions between 22 and 56 but it will be Harshita Samarawickrama and Nilakshika Silva who will come into this game against South Africa Women targeting successive half-centuries.
Sri Lanka Women showed that they have quality across the team and they will aim to make it three wins in a row, and open up the possibility of a fourth in the final, when this game gets underway.

Although it was another defeat for South Africa Women in this tournament when they were beaten by India Women on Wednesday, there were plenty of positives for the team to takeaway from the game.
They went down by 23 runs but valiantly attempted to chase down a tough target of 338!
Masabata Klaas, Nadine de Klerk and Nonkululeko Mlaba all took three wickets in Wednesday's match and they should fancy their chances against what is recognised as an inferior batting line-up from Sri Lanka Women.
A big plus for South Africa Women is the return of captain Laura Wolvaardt as she missed the last game through illness and she is a calming presence in the field as well as at the top of the order with her consistent run-scoring.
Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits, Miane Smit, Annerie Dercksen, Nondumiso Shangase, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sune Luus, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Masabata Klaas

We have seen rain showers throughout this tri-nation series but Friday's forecast looks drier than many others! It will still be humid though and we can expect plenty of cloud cover.

Although the R Premadasa Stadium has a reputation for being a low and slow wicket, over the last week it has been quick and allowed for free-scoring. As ever, there will be turn and bounce for the spinners to exploit with a par score approaching 300.
Although South Africa lost after winning the toss and choosing to field first on Wednesday, we expect both teams to choose to do the same in this contest on Friday as they have both looked more comfortable chasing.
This has been a tough tri-nation series for South Africa Women but they have impressed with their performances in conditions which are dissimilar from home. We expect another close contest but Sri Lanka Women have the momentum and we are predicting another home win for the hosts.
