South Africa will begin their Women's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against former champions the West Indies in Dubai today (October 4). It is the first game for both teams, and they will aim to get off to a winning start.
The West Indies have been in good touch in the shortest format of the game this year. They beat Pakistan 4-1 in a five-match T20I series and followed it up with a 2-1 series victory over Sri Lanka.
The Women in Maroon will be keen to continue in the same vein when they lock horns with previous edition's runners-up South Africa in today's fixture. Before the game gets underway, here's a short preview of this Women's T20 World Cup 2024 contest.
