Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: England Women vs South Africa Women Match Prediction, Match No. 9: Who will win today’s match between ENG W vs SA W?

England and South Africa—the semi-finalists of the last edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup—will face off once again in the most prestigious event of the T20 format on October 7 in Sharjah. The ninth game of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup will be played between Group B heavyweights England and South Africa, which makes this match the most important game for both teams as they are the direct rivals of each other in terms of topping the group. England, which registered a dominating win over Bangladesh in their first game, will be hoping to defeat South Africa and make a smooth entry to the semifinals as group toppers. Meanwhile, South Africa, which also demolished their opponent, the West Indies, in a similar fashion in their first game, will be thinking the same. However, defeating England will be an uphill battle for South Africa, as England is a higher-ranked team than South Africa, plus history favors England.
