Get SA-W vs ENG-W Fantasy 11 prediction, cricket tips, predicted playing XI, pitch report & injury updates for 1st ODI of England Women tour of South Africa. After a magnificent display in the T20I series against South Africa, where England registered a clean sweep against the hosts, the Proteas Women, by 3-0, the stage is all set for an electrifying three-match ODI series. The series opening game is slated to take place on December 4 at Diamond Oval in Kimberley.
Coming to the team dynamics, from the host’s camp, Nadine de Klerk top-scored for the Proteas in the T20I series alongside skipper Laura Wolvaardt. These two players will be the ones to watch out for. The experienced pair of Marizanne Kapp and Anneke Bosch will be expected to deliver great performances. With the ball, Kapp will also be useful, but the main wicket threat will come from Nonkukuleko Mlaba and Ayabhonga Khaka.
On the other hand, Heather Knight and her women will be heading to this game with high confidence, and they will arguably be even stronger in this series with the arrival of Tammy Beaumont. With the ball, Sophie Ecclestone will lead the spin attack, while Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amy Jones, and Dyani Watt carry great form with the bat.
