Both the teams are looking balanced and an enthralling contest beckons in front of us. However, India is expected to win this match and the tri-series.
Deepti Sharma: Deepti Sharma has been the best player in the tri-series so far. The Indian all-rounder has eight wickets in three innings. In addition she had a brilliant day with the bat against South Africa in her last outing against them, earlier in the tournament, followed by a 3-wicket haul with the ball as well.
Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet will play a crucial role for India in this game. She is yet to get dismissed in this series and is currently the second highest run-scorer with 88 runs in two innings, including a half century against West Indies Women. She will be another great captaincy choice.
Marizanne Kapp: Kapp will be another great captaincy choice ahead of this game. Her all-round abilities set her apart from everyone else. She currently has most amount of runs for South Africa in this series, 74, in two innings and a wicket with the ball.
Shabnim Ismail: The South African ace seamer will be a top differential pick in this match. She has not participated much in this series due to injury but played the last game against India and is expected to play the final as well.
Jemimah Rodrigues: Jemimah had a poor run of form recently but the Indian batter found runs from her bat after opening the innings. She is expected to open the innings in the final T20I as well and that is why she will be another top differential pick for this game.
Devika Vaidya: Devika Vaidya has not done much in this series after the first game. In addition, she bats way down the order to create much impact. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid picking her in your side ahead of this game.
