🏏ICC Women's T20I WC 2024: Group B: Match 3, SA vs WI Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 04/10/2024 @ 3:30 PM IST 🏏

October 4 at T20 World Cup: SA face WI in potential quarter-final; dew to play big role in India vs NZ

In the lead-up to this tournament, South Africa suffered a heavy 8-wicket defeat to New Zealand, being bowled out for 92, and couldn’t bounce back in their second warm-up, falling to India by 28 runs while chasing 144. Meanwhile, the West Indies also suffered losses in their warm-up matches, going down by 20 runs against India while chasing 144, and by 35 runs against Australia while chasing 144. However, they fought hard in both games, leaving them with positives to build on.

South Africa vs West Indies, Dubai, 2pm local time

South Africa squad: Laura Wolvaardt (capt), Anneke Bosch, Tazmin Brits, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Mieke de Ridder, Ayanda Hlubi, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka, Sune Luus, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Seshnie Naidu, Tumi Sekhukhune, Chloe Tryon

West Indies squad: Hayley Matthews (capt), Aaliyah Alleyne, Shamilia Connell, Deandra Dottin, Shemaine Campbelle (vice-capt, wk), Ashmini Munisar, Afy Fletcher, Stafanie Taylor, Chinelle Henry, Chedean Nation, Qiana Joseph, Zaida James, Karishma Ramharack, Mandy Mangru, Nerissa Crafton

Tournament form guide: South Africa and West Indies lost both their warm-up games in the lead-up to the tournament, although South Africa's losses were more surprising. They were bowled out for 92 against New Zealand to lose by eight wickets and then couldn't get close to their target of 145 against India. West Indies' losses came against teams ranked much higher than them. They first lost to India by 20 runs and then to Australia by 35 runs, on both occasions struggling to chase down totals in the 140s.

News brief: South Africa finished as the runners-up in the 2023 T20 World Cup and will be looking to carry their form into this tournament after a 2-1 away series win against Pakistan. Despite a poor 7-14 win-loss record against West Indies, South Africa have won three of their last four T20Is against them. West Indies, too, come on the back of a 2-1 series win in Sri Lanka, although that was back in June. South Africa could go spin heavy by picking 18-year-old legspinner Seshnie Naidu along with allrounders Chloe Tryon and Sune Luus. It's expected to be a hot afternoon in Dubai, with the temperature around 37°C at the time of the toss. It won't be much cooler even when the game ends.

Player to watch: She last played a T20I in August 2022. Since then, she has played franchise cricket around the world, retired from international cricket, and returned. Deandra Dottin is a powerhouse of a figure, not just a batter. Her presence in the West Indies line-up will be a massive boost who need to start on a winning note if they are to make the semi-finals.
