Laura Wolvaardt to score over 23.5 runs

Laura Wolvaardt who recently made her Test debut while playing against England Women will be our next pick from the ENG-W vs SA-W head-to-head contest. The young 23-year-old batter has already scored plenty of runs in her short international career. Since making her WODI debut back in 2016, the Cape Town born cricketer has accumulated 3082 runs from 78 matches averaging almost 45.32 which is certainly above our target. In the recently concluded edition of ICC Women’s World Cup, she struck 433 runs from 8 games at an phenomenal average of 54.12. She finished being the leading run-getter for her side and the fourth highest overall. In the first ODI, Wolvaardt scored 43 runs while opening the innings for her side which included three fours. She has played 11 matches against England Women in her WODI career and racked up 411 runs at an stunning average of 37.36. Her scores in the last five games against the same opposition read 43, 0, 77, 64 & 32. She has managed to score above our target 80% of times.

Nat Sciver to score over 31.5 runs

The 29-year-old all-rounder, Nat Sciver is a blend of three nations-Japan, Netherlands and England. She was born in Japan but fell in love with the game in the Netherlands and later decided to move to England to build her career in cricket. She began her career as a skiddy medium pacer but later on improved on her batting and is now considered as a genuine all-rounder. In the first ODI of the ongoing series, Sciver first impressed with the leather in hand and picked up four and later scored a crucial 55 run knock off just 36 balls which included 8 fours. Sciver has been on a roll since the 2022 edition of the ICC World Cup wherein she finished being the leading run-getter for her side. Sciver hammered 436 runs from 9 matches at an average of 72.66 and ranked third in the list of top run-getters overall with two centuries and a fifty. She scored a fantastic unbeaten 148 run knock and gave her all to turn the match in ENG-W’s favour in the finals against AUS-W. Her scores in the last five ODI games read 55, 148*, 15, 40 & 61 runs. This entails an 80% efficiency of Nat Sciver to score above our desired target in the forthcoming contest. Although her numbers against SA-W and at this venue aren't that impressive, her recent run of form overpowers everything else. Overall, she holds an experience of about 90 WODI matches wherein she has amassed 2766 runs at an average of 41.90 which is certainly above our target. Therefore, it will be foolish of us if we ignore this lucrative player betting tip. Our affiliate partner 1XBET has offered odds of 1.87 in Nat Sciver’s favour to score over 31.5 runs from the ENG-W vs SA-W head-to-head contest.
