SA-W vs IND-W, 4th T20I: India look o salvage pride as South Africa aim to tighten grip
The fourth T20I between India women and South Africa women is set to be played on Saturday at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. South Africa have already sealed the five-match series, and India now find themselves fighting for pride and momentum in the remaining two games. South Africa have been quite dominant throughout the series, racing to an unassailable 3-0 lead after powerful victories in the opening three matches.
In the third T20I, they cliched a superb nine-wicket win, further isolating India in the series. South Africa's batting unit, in particular, has been relentless, performing brilliantly in all situations. A magnificent performance came in the previous match when a blistering century from South Africa’s skipper Laura Wolvaardt powered the team to victory.
For India, the series has been totally frustrating. They had strong batting performances in the third T20I, posting a competitive total of 192, but they have failed to close out key moments. Heading into the fourth T20I, India will look to fight back and salvage pride. South Africa, on the other hand, will be keen to maintain their winning momentum. Having already secured the series, they now have the opportunity to complete a series whitewash.
