The match scheduled to start at 16h00 CAT, will see South Africa aiming to reach their second consecutive T20 World Cup final.

Historically, Australia has dominated this fixture, winning nine of the ten T20 Internationals between the two sides, including a 19-run victory in the final of last year's T20 World Cup.

However, South Africa's sole win against the Aussies in the format came in January this year, a six-wicket victory in Canberra, providing a significant confidence boost heading into this high-stakes encounter.

The Proteas have also been imperious at the Dubai International Stadium, winning all three of their T20I matches at this venue during the ongoing World Cup. Captain Laura Wolvaardt believes this gives her side confidence going into the game,” It's a massive game for us. It brings back memories of facing Australia in the final last year, but a lot has happened since then. We have those two wins against them earlier this year gives us positive energy, knowing that if we play our best cricket, they are beatable.

So big evening for everyone and tonight is all about doing what we can to get ino the right space going into tomorrow.”
