Having finally ended their losing streak, India women will look to end the series on a high, as they take on South Africa women in the fifth and final T20I of the series on Monday, April 27, at Willowmoore Park, Benoni. After losing the first three matches of the series, India made a brilliant comeback in the fourth game, beating South Africa by 14 runs.
Deepti Sharma’s all-round show helped the Women in Blue salvage some pride and save themselves from a whitewash. On the other hand, South Africa will look to test their bench strength with the upcoming game, being their last T20I before the T20 World Cup in England in June.
