Openers: Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits

South Africa would want to make a strong comeback after what was a disappointing performance against England in their opening match of the competition.

South Africa was bowled out for 69 runs while batting first and lost the match by ten wickets, which meant that the team's net run rate also took a massive hit.

The primary goal of the Laura Wolvaardt-led side would be to win the next match against New Zealand and think of the net run rate if they are in a position to win by a massive margin.

All eyes would be on the batting lineup as to how it performs against a team that kept the defending champions in check for a major part of the innings.

The onus will be on captain Laura Wolvaardt to lead from the front, who will get the company of Tazim Brits at the top of the order.

Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Anneke Bosch, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk

The openers would also hope for middle-order batters to have a good outing against New Zealand to gain confidence for the matches to come.

The middle order comprises names like Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, and Anneke Bosch, all of whom have the capability of winning the match for the team and will look to do so against New Zealand.

The trio has a good amount of experience when it comes to playing at the international level and will have to put that to good use.

Along with the above-mentioned names, wicketkeeper batter Sinalo Jafta and all-rounder Chloe Tryon will also be expected to make handy contributions.

Bowlers: Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba

When it comes to South Africa's bowling department, includes the likes of Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, and Nonkululeko Mlaba.

South Africa would rely on the bowling lineup, which has a rich vein of experience due to the presence of Chloe Tryon and Marizanne Kapp, along with the above-mentioned names, to come up with a spirited effort.

Kapp, who took the new ball in the previous match, would be expected to do the same, along with picking wickets in the first ten overs in partnership with Chloe Tryon.

The duo would also want good support from bowlers in the middle overs of the bowling innings, all of whom would be entrusted to stem the flow of runs and pick up wickets in that particular phase.

All things said, the African bowlers would hope for a better show from the batters so that they can have enough runs to play with if the team ends up batting first.
