Considering the recent form and the players on paper Australia should win this match against South Africa.
Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy scored another half century in the last game against Bangladesh and is now currently the highest run-scorer in this tournament. She will be a great captaincy choice for this match as well.
Ashleigh Gardner: Ashleigh Gardner wicket taking form continues. She is currently the joint second highest wicket taker with six wickets in three games. In addition, she bats at four so there should not be any doubt on her being another captaincy choice for this game.
Chloe Tryon: Chloe Tryon has been South Africa’s best player in the recent past. She once again topped the scoring chart for South Africa in their last game against New Zealand. She will be another great captaincy choice for this match.
Nonkululeko Mlaba: Mlaba is selected in only 30% of the teams as of writing this. Considering the conditions at St George’s Park, Mlaba will be a great differential pick for this match.
Georgia Wareham: Wareham is not one of the biggest names in this Aussie line-up. However, she has been doing a great job with the ball in this tournament, picking four wickets in only two matches already. She will be another great differential pick for this match.
Tahlia McGrath: Tahlia McGrath is one of the best players in the world right now in this format. However, she bats way down for this Australian side and is not getting many opportunities with the ball as well. It will be better to avoid picking her in your Dream11 for this match.
