India women’s cricket team looks to continue dominance over South Africa in 2nd T20

A perfect start achieved, the India women’s cricket team would look to continue its supremacy over South Africa when the two sides clash in the second Twenty20 International, on Friday.

After a 2-1 win in the ODI series, the Indian women started the T20 series on a confident note, drubbing the hosts by seven wickets in the first game on Monday. And the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side would look to carry on the momentum in the remainder of the five-match series.

The way the Indians came out all guns blazing in the first T20, it seemed the loss in the inconsequential third ODI prior to the series was just a rare bad day in office and their confidence hardly took a beating.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur too would be hoping to score big after a first-ball duck in the last match, owing to a run out.

The Indian batting looks in good form but the visitors’ bowling is a cause of concern in the absence of veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami, who has been ruled out of the series because of a heel injury.
