With 2-11 lead, Indian women’s cricket team will look to extend its domination in the shortest format and achieve a rare double series win when they take on South Africa in the fifth and final Twenty20 International in Cape Town to tend the South Africa tour on a high.
India have been impressive throughout the tour, winning the ODI series 2-1 and now they have the opportunity to seal the T20I series as well. So far in the shortest format of the game, India won the first two T20 games convincingly, by seven and nine wickets.
But a five-wicket loss in the third match kept the series alive for South Africa.
A win tomorrow will make Harmanpreet and Co. the first Indian side to have won two series on a single tour of South Africa. It will also be a huge milestone after having won the T20 series in Australia.
India: Harmanpreet Kaur (captain), Smriti Mandhana (vice-captain), Mithali Raj, Veda Krishnamurthy, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Anuja Patil, Taniya Bhatia, Nuzhat Parveen Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Shikha Pandey, Pooja Vastrakar, Radha Yadav, Rumeli Dhar.
