Australia and South Africa will face off in the finals of the 2023 T20 World Cup

After two and a half weeks of compelling cricket, Australia and South Africa will take the field at Newlands in Cape Town to contest the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 on Sunday.

The hosts South Africa have made it to their first-ever T20 World Cup final. On the other hand defending champions Australia will make their seventh successive appearance in the match to decide the competition. Historically, Australia have an overwhelming advantage over South Africa in the format, having beaten the Proteas in all of their previous six T20I engagements. 

Their last encounter was a group stage match in this tournament, where Australia won the game by six wickets.  However, South Africa have put two compelling performances since that loss. They beat Bangladesh by a comprehensive margin of 10-wickets to make it to the semi-finals, and then went on to upend a strong England side in the semis by six runs. Both sides have enough talent in their camps to make the final a riveting clash.
