Both sides are set to face off in the third and final T20I game of the series, which is slated to take place on July 9 at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. The visiting side has a great chance to win this match and seal the series with a whitewash over the hosts. However, Harmanpreet Kaur-led India women will be looking to bounce back and level up the series after suffering a terrible loss.

The forthcoming clash is set to be a do-or-die clash for the home team, as the Proteas registered 12 run-wins in their opening encounter. In addition, the second battle was washed out owing to the heavy rainfall in Chennai, but The Women in Blue needs to win the final game of the multi-format tour to level up the series after they lost the chance to thwart the Proteas side in the T20I series.

Pitch report

The nature of the pitch in the upcoming third T20I is expected to remain consistent. Dew did not influence the first two games, as the outfield remained dry throughout. The Chepauk track was noted for slowing down as the match progressed, providing ample assistance to spinners with significant purchase available. Pursuing a target could present a formidable challenge, regardless of the team batting second.
