Both the teams are in great form lately with the bat and ball. However, Australia Women is a much stronger team on paper and is expected to win this match against South Africa Women.
Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy is a player of the final always. She will be a great captaincy choice ahead of the final. She was the player of the match in the last edition’s final and also had a great tournament this time around so far, scoring 171 runs at an average of 57.
Tazmin Brits: Tazmin Brits is currently the second highest run scorer in the tournament with 176 runs in five games, including two back to back half centuries in the last two games. She will be another great captaincy choice ahead of this match.
Ashleigh Gardner: Ashleigh Gardner is currently the joint second highest wicket taker in the tournament with 9 wickets in five games. In addition, she has been brilliant with the bat as well in that Australian middle order. It is advisable to keep her as one of your captaincy choices.
Chloe Tryon: Chloe Tryon had a great start to the tournament but did not get many opportunities in the later half of the campaign. She will be a top differential pick for this match down the order for this South lineup.
Tahlia McGrath: Tahlia McGrath can be a great differential pick for this game. In Australia’s meeting with South Africa, earlier in the group stage, McGrath scored a brilliant half century. If opportunity arrives, she can be a huge difference maker in your points tally as she has been picked by only 18% of the teams as of now.
Grace Harris: Grace Harris is a very dangerous batter down the order for Australia but considering the form of Australia’s top order, keeping her out of your dream11 will be ideal.
