Who Will Win Women’s T20I Tri-Series in South Africa 2023
Even though the series is hosted outside India, the favorites for this series are surely gonna be the Indian Women’s team due to the experience, talent, and depth available in their squad as well as last time team India had a very good outing when they toured South Africa for a bilateral series. All the cricket odds are with team India but the only problem they gonna face is two young prospects namely Shafali Verma & Richa Ghosh are currently busy in the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup so the team combination for India will be a bit off but the captain Harmanpreet Kaur is confident they have enough depth available in their squad. India & South Africa are expected to play the Final on 2nd Feb. as team West Indies looks the weakest team on paper.
