South Africa and New Zealand women are all set to make history through their much talked about final which is about to begin in a few hours. Am cheering for both teams all the way since they deserve their respective spots.
Among them, I am cheering for South Africa a bit more because they never won a big ICC trophy yet and beat Australia so comfortably earlier.
Whether you say South Africa or New Zealand these two teams have not won any major event so today's match is very important for each of these two teams and it can definitely be called a do or die match for them. Although the South African women's team is slightly ahead in the statistics, I consider New Zealand as more favorites than South Africa in this tournament. In terms of the number of times South Africa and New Zealand have faced each other so far, New Zealand has won 11 times and South Africa has won 4 times. So in today's match, New Zealand will definitely take the statistics and there is a lot of possibility to become champions.
No one expecting this final as we have early exited for the England and Australia from this mega event now these two are giving their best for having their first even major trophy in international events.
In early games, both teams were on same level with South Africa lost to England and New Zealand lost to Australia but now after having wins in semifinals we have South Africa more confident because they are doing good job and have better quality from the New Zealand with H2H matches are favourable for the New Zealand but in this big game South Africa is surely looking for new era into cricket if they are able to win this final.
After win of toss South Africa decide to bowl first and their bowlers give them good start specially Ayabonga Khaka take early breakthrough which bring New Zealand under pressure now after end of the 10 overs we have 68 for 2 from here 150+ could be challenging score for both sides.
