The match between the two teams will take place on Sunday, October 20 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have performed admirably throughout the league to earn a spot in the top match.
Fortunately for South Africa’s women, the team won the toss to start the match. The decision to bowl first caused a lot of people in the stands to scoff. It is important to note that the wicket tends to slow down on the Dubai surface, but it appears like South Africa is supporting their ability to chase.
It’s interesting to note that both teams will start the final with the same roster as they did in their semi-final victories, and every player is eligible. It will be the goal of both teams to perform well and win the title.
