The third match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will take place between South Africa Women and West Indies Women at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 4, with the match scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM IST.
Both teams will be aiming to kickstart their 2024 T20 World Cup campaigns with a victory. South Africa, fresh off a strong performance in the previous World Cup where they reached the final, entered the match in good form. While the West Indies have historically had the upper hand against South Africa, their form has been inconsistent.

In the unpredictable world of T20 cricket, it’s tough to predict a winner, so this should be an exciting clash.
