England were runners-up in the last World Cup. They performed well throughout the tournament but lost the final against Australia. Skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt will look to lead her side to a winning start. South Africa also had a strong last World Cup. They won five out of seven matches and finished second on the points table. However, they lost the semi-final to England. The team will aim for revenge in their opening game. Fans in India can watch the game live on the Star Sports Network. The live streaming will be available on the Jio Hotstar app and website.
South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt said the pitch looked slower than expected and the team would not mind batting first. "Looks a bit slower than what we thought it would be. Don't mind having a bat first. For us it's about taking it one game at a time. Need to be present in the moment. He's been amazing (coach Mandla Mashimbyi), has changed a lot of things and is all about playing brave cricket. He's good at motivational speeches as well. Four spin options, three seam options," Wolvaardt said.
England have a new leadership duo with Sciver-Brunt as captain and Charlotte Edwards as coach following their defeat in the Ashes earlier this year. The team showed promise in warm-up matches, defeating both Australia and India. South Africa come into the tournament on the back of series wins over West Indies and Pakistan. The team has depth with several all-rounders and experienced players including Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp, who led the side to the T20 World Cup final last year.
