India women will lock horns with South Africa women in the second T20I of the five-match series on Sunday, April 19, at Kingsmead, Durban. The Women in Blue didn’t have a desired beginning to the rubber, losing the opening fixture by six wickets.
They first suffered a collapse in the last six overs and later had several lapses in the field, which turned the game in South Africa’s favour. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will hope for a stronger comeback in the upcoming fixture and level the series.
On the other hand, the Proteas women were clinical throughout the first T20I and will look to emulate their performance in the second match as well.

Players to watch out for:
Smriti Mandhana
The India opener didn’t have a memorable beginning to the series as she struggled to get going and got dismissed for 13 (14). However, given her rich form, she’s bound to bounce back strongly in the upcoming fixture and help India level the series.
Nonkululeko Mlaba
The left-arm spinner scalped one wicket in the series opener, giving away 30 runs from her four overs. She will look to bowl another memorable spell in the upcoming fixture and help her side take a 2-0 lead.
