The 2nd ODI between South Africa Women and Sri Lanka Women kicks off today, April 13th, 2024, at the De Beers Diamond Oval in Kimberley, South Africa. With the series opener washed out due to rain, both teams will be eager to claim the first win.

Prediction of SA W vs. SL W

South Africa holds the upper hand going into this match. Their strong batting performance in the 1st ODI, with Tazmin Brits’ impressive century, showcased their dominance.

Our prediction: South Africa Women to win.
