South Africa are gearing up to host Sri Lanka for an eagerly anticipated Women’s One Day International (ODI) series. The series, a crucial segment of the ICC Women’s Championship, is scheduled to kick off on April 9 and will span until April 17, featuring matches at diverse venues including East London, Kimberley, and Potchefstroom.
Emphasis on Sri Lanka’s attempt to replicate their T20I success
The forthcoming series holds immense significance for both teams, particularly following their recent encounter in the Women’s Twenty20 International (WT20I) leg, where Sri Lanka clinched a historic 2-1 series triumph. Riding high on this success, Sri Lanka are poised to carry forward their momentum into the 50-over format, eyeing another memorable performance against the Proteas.
South Africa’s determination to bounce back
The Proteas Women, on the other hand, are determined to stage a resurgence in the Women’s ODIs. Having faced disappointment in the T20Is, the South African team is eager to rectify their performance and assert their dominance on home turf.
