Players to watch out for:
Smriti Mandhana
The India opener’s bat has been relatively quiet in the last few fixtures as she also failed to register a half-century on South Africa tour. Mandhana will be eager to find her form back in the upcoming game to head into the Women’s T20 World Cup high on confidence.
Sophie Ecclestone
The left-arm spinner also had a forgettable outing in the series opener, giving away 32 runs from three overs without taking any wickets. Ecclestone is rated among the top spinners in the world, and she will also look to regain her form ahead of the World Cup with a brilliant performance in second T20I.
