Meanwhile, South Africa, currently ranked fifth in the format, arrive with growing confidence as they continue to establish themselves among the elite teams in women's cricket. The Proteas will once again be led by Laura Wolvaardt, who captains the side in her second consecutive T20 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
South Africa will hope to carry forward the momentum they have built over recent years and challenge one of the most dominant teams in the history of the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Historically, Australia have enjoyed overwhelming success against South Africa in T20 internationals. The Australians have won nine of the 11 meetings between the two teams, while South Africa have managed just two victories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the toss, Australia skipper Sophie Molineux said,\" We are going to have a bat. It would be good to get out there and put a score on the board. Really well. We have covered our warm-up matches and everything. It was probably just how our bowling is going to shape up. The pitch might suit her as well. It is, with it comes enormous responsibility.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While after losing the toss, South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt said,\u201d Don't mind having a bowl first. We have a good record chasing, so we don't mind. We have played a lot of good cricket, and hopefully it counts for something.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
