Bangladesh Women vs South Africa Women, Match 16

India's massive win over Sri Lanka earlier this week has significantly improved their chances of reaching the last four, despite their setback against New Zealand in their opener.

The Proteas have won two of their three group-stage matches so far and will be looking to register their third victory to try to get to the top of the points table tonight.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will be playing for their pride after becoming the first team to be eliminated from the tournament, following their loss to India in their third match earlier.

The Women in Blue will be counting on the services of opener Shafali Verma and others to tackle the dangerous Aussie side on October 16 at the Sharjah Cricket Ground.

A loss could mean that Fatima Sana's Pakistan will fail to make it to the knockouts, with other teams also on the hunt for the spots.

After restricting Bangladesh to 103 for 8, courtesy Ramharack's fine bowling spell of 4/17 from her four overs, the West Indies overhauled the target with as many as 43 balls to spare.

Shafali and Smriti put up a 98-run opening stand to lay the foundation of India's emphatic 82-run win over Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

Both sides are coming into the match with 2 points each and need a win to solidify their chances for the knockouts in the Women's T20 World Cup.

Muneeba will continue in the leadership role in Pakistan's final group game against New Zealand as well if Sana is unable to return in time for the encounter in the UAE.

"It was one of those days when I was in the zone," said India captain Harmanpreet Kaur after smashing her fastest fifty in T20 Internationals here on Wednesday.
