The South Africa Women's team will look to find a way to bounce back and keep the series alive, while the hosts will look to seal the series comfortably.

New Zealand Women

After a disappointing loss against the Proteas Women in the second match, the White Ferns bounced back quickly to pick up a brilliant victory by 6 wickets in the third T20I match. This win also helped the team extend its lead to 2-1 in the five-match series. While chasing a target of 150 runs, the hosts didn't get a good start and lost both openers for just 35 runs. But Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine had other plans, and a late cameo from Maddy Green helped the team seal a comfortable victory. Amelia Kerr scored 30 runs, while Maddy Green and Sophie Devine remained unbeaten on 34 and 55, respectively. In bowling, Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates had a good day, taking two wickets each to their name. A victory in the fourth match will help the hosts seal the series comfortably. 

South Africa Women

South African women are on the verge of losing this T20I series after their loss in the third match. Their form has been a little inconsistent lately, winning just two matches out of their total five played so far. In the third T20I match, they could only manage to post 149 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their innings, thanks to the knocks from Laura Wolvaardt and Kayla Reyneke, who scored 37 and 34 to help the team reach a respectable total. But the total was not enough in front of the in-form batting lineup of the White Ferns; they chased it down in 18.4 overs. With just two matches remaining, South Africa Women will need to clinch a victory in the fourth match to keep themselves alive in the series.
