South Africa Women Form Guide:
South Africa Women have been in an ordinary form in T20 cricket. Although they had beaten India Women in the Finals of the recently concluded Women's Tri Series held in South Africa, they could not perform well in the Commonwealth Games 2022. They will be missing the services of Dane Van Niekerk. It will really hamper their chances in the upcoming event.

1. Marizanne Kapp - She is the backbone for South Africa Women bowling as well as batting. Based on her current form, she is likely to leave a big impact in the Women's T20 World Cup, 2023.
