Following an electrifying T20I series that left cricket fans on the edge of their seats, Australia and South Africa are gearing up for another riveting encounter as they prepare to face off in the Women’s ODI leg starting this Saturday, February 03. The series, consisting of three matches, will not only provide an opportunity for both teams to showcase their skills but also offer crucial ICC Women’s Championship points.
Australia, fresh from their successful all-format tour of India, where they clinched the ODI series with a commanding 3-0 victory, will be looking to carry their momentum into the upcoming clashes against South Africa. On the other hand, South Africa, who last hosted Bangladesh in December and emerged victorious with a 2-1 series win, will be eager to capitalize on their home advantage and continue their winning streak.
The upcoming ODI series holds significant historical weight as the last encounter between Australia and South Africa in the ODI format dates back to the 2022 World Cup in Wellington. In that thrilling match, former Australian captain Meg Lanning led her team to victory with a stellar performance, guiding them to a win with five wickets in hand.
