ENG-W vs SA-W Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the ENG-W vs SA-W 1st Test Day 1 head-to-head contest.

England Women to score over 22.5 runs in 1st innings before 1st dismissal

Playing under home conditions against a South Africa Women side who haven't played a Test match since 2014 will help England a lot. England Women are a more experienced Test team, having played their last match in the format against Australia Women in January this year. South Africa Women have won only one of their last five Test matches. Their last win was against Netherlands Women in 2007. On the other hand, England Women have played four consecutive draws against strong oppositions in India and Australia. They last lost a Test match in 2015. Experienced Tammy Beaumont will be opening the innings for England and is most likely to get a partner in Emma Lamb. Beaumont has played six Test matches and scored 239 runs at an average of 26.55. She has scores of 36, 5, 66, 0, 37 and 70 in her last six innings. Beaumont carries a strike rate of 66.25 in 5 ODIs at The Cooper Associates County Ground, the venue for the first and only Test. The right-hand batter averages 53.25 in 4 T20Is. She hasn't yet played a Test match at the venue. Emma Lamb made her T20I debut in September 2021, and ODI debut in February this year. She is most likely to open the batting with Beaumont in her Test debut. The 24-year-old recently featured in the Charlotte Edwards Cup for Thunder. Lamb's last five innings in the tournament was - 42, 5, 15, 56 and 50. It's quite evident that she is in good form and some quickfire runs at the top can be expected from her. Amy Jones is another contender to open with Tammy Beaumont. Jones has played 3 Test matches to score 82 runs at an average of 20.50. She has opened in only one innings for England and scored her highest Test score in the same innings. Jones scored 64 runs off 140 balls against Australia Women in Taunton in 2019 while opening the innings. England Women openers are expected to make full use of the home conditions and score at least 23 runs together. The South Africa Women bowlers not used to bowling with the red-ball will further help England.
