Fans in Paarl can expect to watch all 40 overs of the seventh ICC Women’s T20 World Cup match between New Zealand Women (NZ-W) and South Africa Women (SA-W) because there is no chance of precipitation. On Monday, February 13, Boland Park will host the Group A match. Both teams will be eager to get going after a disappointing campaign start.
New Zealand suffered a lopsided defeat against Australia, their Trans-Tasman rival, while South Africa lost to Sri Lanka. In a low-scoring thriller, the Lankan Lions stunned the hosts. Despite the valiant efforts of captain Sune Luus, they failed to reach 130 and lost by three runs. South Africa will hope to restart their campaign by firing in unison against the White Ferns.
Match Details:
- Match: South Africa Women vs New Zealand Women
- Date and Time: Monday, 10:30 PM IST, February 13, 2022.

Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Bernadine Bezuidenhout was one of a few New Zealand batters against Australia who reached double digits. Bernadine has a lot of experience and is capable of scoring big runs despite only playing 17 T20Is. Bernadine stands out as a top pick for your SA-W vs. NZ-W Dream11 prediction team because Sinalo Jafta bats in the lower order.
Top Batter Pick
Another skilled batter who has performed well for South Africa in this format is Tazmin Brits. She has a respectable strikeout rate and has scored 619 runs at an average of 26.21. She makes a great addition to your SA-W vs. NZ-W Dream11 prediction team because Brits has the ability to score big runs at the top of the order.
Top All-rounder Pick
There’s a good reason Marizanne Kapp is one of the best all-rounders in the world. In her 89 T20I matches, she has scored 1131 runs and taken 68 wickets. In the previous match, she showed signs of her potential by scoring 11 runs and taking one wicket. She is an essential member of your SA-W vs. NZ-W Dream11 prediction team given the favorable circumstances.
Top Bowler Pick
Jess Kerr has a track record of success in Twenty20 cricket, and her ability with new balls helps her a lot. She has 12 wickets at an average of 26.66 in 19 matches. She took a wicket and gave up 30 runs in her four overs against a strong Australian batting line-up. Kerr could be a good choice for your SA-W vs. NZ-W Dream11 prediction team due to her abilities.
match captain and vice-captain choices
Laura Wolvaardt struggled against Sri Lanka, scoring 18 runs off 23 deliveries. She has scored 867 runs at an average of 27.96, making her possibly South Africa’s best batter. Your SA-W vs. NZ-W Dream11 prediction team should pick Wolvaardt as their captain or vice-captain because she can score big runs at the top of the order.
With 565 runs and 55 wickets in 56 T20Is, Amelia Kerr is a world-class all-rounder. Kerr had a good performance against Australia, scoring 21 runs in the middle order and taking three wickets. Kerr is a viable captaincy pick for your SA-W vs. NZ-W Dream11 prediction team, given her form and the conditions available.

Pitch Report
The bowlers are helped by the pitch. The batters will need to be patient early in their innings because the surface will give the pacers some lateral movement. Run scoring gets easier once they are set.
