ENG-W vs SA-W: Get ready for a more intense game as two favourites are set to collide in the next game of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. South Africa Women will take on the four-time champion England Women on Friday. This match is scheduled to be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, at 3 pm IST.

England Women Preview 

England Women have two great warm-up games, and they totally dominated in those games with bat and ball. They are in good rhythm, but the challenge will be to take that form into the real match situation. They have a great squad, and they will start this tournament as favourites.

• Key Batter: Emma Lamb and Nat Sciver-Brunt will be two key batters for England.
• Captaincy: Captain Sciver Brunt is among the top white-ball cricketers in women’s cricket. She is a proven match-winner in all departments.
• Batting Strength: England have shown great intent with the bat. They know that on these pitches they need a big score, and their batters are responding very well.
• Bowling Attack: The pace attack of England is pretty good. They have swing bowlers and hard-length bowlers. Then, Ecclestone is doing a great job with her spin.

South Africa Women Preview 

South African women are coming off a great show in the month or so. They won the ODI series in Pakistan and then also went undefeated in the warm-up stages. So, they will be pumped up with the form on their side and will be looking to get the first points on the board.

• Batting: Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, and Marizanne Kapp have scored a century each in the last few matches. Their batting unit is in top form, and they will look to cash it in in this tournament on flat pitches.
• Bowling: The bowling led by Kapp and De Klerk has responded well. The availability of good all-rounders gives them a great balance going into this tournament.

Match Details – England Women vs South Africa Women, Match 4

Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati Pitch and Weather Report

Barsapara Cricket Stadium is a great venue for batters. It is very minimal help for the bowling side. However, because there is a prediction of passing showers, it will slow down the pitch, and bowlers can use the slowness. Hence, spinners can be more effective here. Batting up front will be a challenge, and batters who can spend some time can use the pitch well.

The temperature on Friday afternoon will reach around 29°C, which will decline as the game goes on. There might be light rain in the evening, and humidity should be around 80 and 90 percent.
