SA-W vs WI-W 1st ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

South Africa Women will square off against West Indies Women in the first of the four match series ODI in the 2022 tour. All the matches of the tour are scheduled to be played at The Wanderer Stadium in Johannesburg starting Friday, January 28. Here, I have collated the three best betting tips for you as per the SA-W vs WI-W match prediction.

The last time that the two sides met was in 2021 September in the Caribbean when South Africa toured West Indies to play a three-match series T20I, followed by five-match series ODI. The T20I series had ended all square, with both sides winning a game each, one fixture was abandoned due to rain. In the ODI series, the South African Women squad had dominated the series by a 4-1 win, while one match was a tie. While South Africa are currently second in the ICC Women's ODI ranking, the visitors are ranked seventh. Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt topped the overall run-chart for that series scoring 248 runs and 161 runs respectively. However, South Africa will be missing some of their key players like Lizelle Lee who is recovering from Covid-19 and is also the ICC Women's ODI Cricket Of The Year for 2021 along with Dane Van Niekerk who has been out of action due to an ankle injury. Sune Luus will take over the captaincy for the series of four ODIs. West Indies on the other hand will be captained by Stafanie Taylor. South Africa Women will be our favourites entering the forthcoming contest and we have the top three betting tips from the SA-W vs WI-W head-to-head match exclusively for you.

SA-W vs WI-W Team Bet

The oddsmakers are heavily favouring the South African Women squad to win the match and so have we taken the privilege to pick them as favourites. Take a look at the below mentioned SA-W vs WI-W team betting tips.

South Africa- W To Win

South Africa has coasted to victories in recent times and we don't really see why they cannot do the same once more. They have played three ODI series namely against Pakistan, India and West Indies in the 2021 season where they have dominated their opponents distinctively. It was a one sided affair when they faced the Pakistan Women earlier last season to win the series by 3-0. This was followed by a 4- 1 win against India Women and yet another 4-1 win against West Indies. Considering their dominance in the limited overs format, the Proteas Women squad are currently placed second in the ICC Women ODI team ranking. They have a formidable squad, with senior pros like Laura Wolvaardt, Mignon Du Preez to name a few who make the batting lineup a much stronger one. As for the bowlers, Ayabonga Khaka has been a cut above the others and has the most number of wickets. Sune Luus who is captaining the side has managed the captaincy quite well having led 16 ODIs and 15 T20Is in the past. Also as noticed in the last five head to head matches between the teams, the South Africans have won on four occasions. We are going back to South Africa to win this match as well. Watch out for Pari Match as they offer winner bets in favour of SA-W vs WI-W head to head match.

Deandra Dottin To Score Immaculately

Deandra Dottin has been one of the few positives for West Indies amidst their low scoring performances. She is one of the most experienced campaigners from the West Indies ODI setup. Dottin comes along with the experience of 131 ODIs and 3293 runs against her name scored at an average of 29.40. The veteran has racked up 460 runs in her last 13 ODI outings at an average of 38.33.

Laura Wolvaardt To Notch Runs For Her Side

In absence of Lizelle Lee, Wolvaardt will be holding down the fort for Proteas. The Proteas opening batsman was among the top two batters when South Africa toured West Indies in 2021. Wolvaardt's scores in the four innings played were- 36, 71*, 53 and 1. The 22-year-old has always enjoyed playing at home, tallying 852 runs at an average of 46-plus.She has a similar average while playing against West Indies too. Having played 9 matches against West Indies, Wolvaardt has racked 296 runs at a remarkable average of 42.28. She made her WODI debut in 2016 and has an aggregate of 2311 runs from the 62 matches she has come out to bat in, with a brilliant average of 44.44. The power hitter has an average of 41.44 from the 10 innings she has played in the last one year. With 373 runs from these innings, Wolvaardt is the second highest WODI run scorer. The right handed batter has played under the captaincy of Sune Luus between 2017 and 2021 and mustered 715 runs at a brilliant average of 47.66. The opening batsman will likely strike on top as Proteas take on the West Indies squad this season. Pari Match will offer odds for Laura Wolvaardt closer to the SA-W vs WI-W player betting tips.
