South Africa vs West Indies live score, Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Laura Wolvaardt’s South African women’s cricket team narrowly missed out on winning the tournament last year, losing to Australia in a thrilling final in Cape Town. . Their first challenge as they embark on the 2024 campaign will be against 2016 champions West Indies, who have struggled to reach the finals since their triumphant return.
Both teams are in transition, but West Indies will be further strengthened by the return of 2016 star Deandra Dottin. The 33-year-old all-rounder made his international return after a voluntary two-year hiatus.
