With the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 days away, India will look to conclude the final leg of their preparations with a win in the tri-series final against South Africa in East London on Thursday (February 2). India, following their 1-4 series loss to Australia at home, have bounced back with three wins in the tri-series and would be hoping to end the tournament on a high before they enter the 10-team global competition beginning on February 10.

India had got the better of South Africa in the tri-series opener before their repeat league fixture was washed out. India beat West Indies twice to enter the final. However, in the World Cup, India’s main challenge will be to outsmart the likes of England and Australia.
With eight wickets in three games, all-rounder Deepti Sharma will be the go-to bowler for India in the final. Under fire batter Jemimah Rodrigues got much needed runs in the final league game against West Indies and would be aiming for consistency. A big positive for India was the return of Pooja Vastrakar, who had been out of action due to an injury.
