South Africa Women vs Australia Women Team News, Injury Update, Key Players:

The match between SA-W and AUS-W starts at 10.30 PM IST on Saturday.

SA-W Team News vs AUS-W in Women's T20 World Cup:

South Africa don;t have any injury concerns ahead of the Australia clash in the T20 World Cup. The Proteas won a crucial match against the Kiwis in the last match and their bowling stood out as they were defending a moderate target. The bowling unit of Shabnim Ismail, Nonkululeko Mlaba was outstanding to say the least, while Chloe Tryon performed with both bat and ball.

They will need a better outing for the batters against a tough Australian side though. Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits and Marizanne Kapp are their three standout batters who haven't shown their amazing ability so far, and the home side will need the trio to fire in all cylinders against Australia.

The Australians have been in tremendous form. They won comprehensively against Sri Lanka in the last match. Alyssa Healy and Meg Lanning have starred with the bat for them while Megan Schutt, Ashleigh Gardner have picked up wickets with the ball. As a well-oiled unit, the Kangaroos again look as overwhelmingly favourites to win the World Cup, but they can't get complacent against a dynamic South African side.
