BD-W vs SA-W Dream11 Prediction: Bangladesh Women and South Africa Women face off in a crucial encounter that could shape the course of their Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. Match no. 16, a Group B fixture, will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, UAE, and is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM (IST) on October 12, 2024.
With two wins from three games, South Africa Women are sitting second in Group B, just behind current group leaders West Indies Women due to an inferior net run rate. However, England Women, currently placed third, are expected to top the group. This leaves three teams fighting for one remaining semifinal spot, two of which are South Africa and Bangladesh.
Bangladesh’s situation is more alarming than the other teams. They have lost two games and are currently in fourth place heading into this match. There’s even a possibility that, even if they win this game, which would take their points tally to four, it still might not be enough for them to qualify for the semifinals. The final standings will likely come down to net run rate.
For South Africa, a win in this match would take them to six points, which should be enough to secure a top-two finish, especially since West Indies Women and England Women are set to play against each other, guaranteeing that one of them will drop points.

BD-W vs SA-W Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch report: The scores we are witnessing in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 are largely due to the quality of teams. Teams like Australia, England, South Africa, and India are a notch above some of the other teams. Australia, in particular, are head and shoulders above most teams at the moment, and it shows in their matches.
For example, in the last game played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Australia Women won the toss and decided to bowl first against Pakistan Women. As soon as the Aussies came to bowl, it was clear that the match would only end one way— in a win for Australia. The Pakistan team couldn’t put up a fight, even for one over, and were bowled out for just 82 runs in 19.5 overs, scoring just over four runs per over. Australia chased that target down in just 11 overs. It was as big a gulf between the two teams as it could be at the international level.
The pitch at this venue isn’t difficult for batting. As highlighted earlier, it all comes down to the quality of the teams.
That said, expect spinners to dominate the proceedings in this match.
