Cape Town,
\nEnjoying an unbeatable 2-1 lead, the Indian women\u2019s cricket team would look to extend its domination in the shortest format and achieve a rare double series win when it takes on South Africa in the fifth and final T20 International here tomorrow. Having already won the three-match ODI series 2-1, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team would look to end the South Africa tour with a double delight.<\/p>\n
India had been quite clinical in the first two T20 games, but a five-wicket loss in the third match kept the series alive for South Africa. The visitors had fancied their chances in the fourth T20I but rain played spoilsport as the match was abandoned after South Africa were 130\/3 in 15.3 overs.<\/p>\n
A win tomorrow will make Harmanpreet and Co. the first Indian side to win two series on a single tour of South Africa. It will be a huge milestone after their T20I series win in Australia two years ago.<\/p>\n
The South African women have largely failed to match their Indian counterparts. However, skipper Dane van Niekerk is looking at the positives her team drew from the third T20I match, which they won by five wickets. \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough tour against India, not just this series, but the ODIs as well. But when the team bounced back they did so hard, I\u2019ve been really proud of that,\u201d the skipper said. \u201cIt just goes to show that when you don\u2019t think about the result and you just play your natural game and stick to the basics, the results will take care of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
