South Africa women are coming on the back of a series win against Pakistan in Pakistan. They’ll be pretty confident as a side coming into this match.

The experienced Stafanie Taylor is also there alongside the likes of Afy Fletcher and Chinelle Henry. West Indies women will depend heavily on their big names: Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor, especially, with the bat.
