The first two warm-up games saw interesting results. Sri Lanka defended a 144-run total with ease to beat Bangladesh by 33 runs. The other game resulted in an upset of sorts, with Scotland producing a clinical performance to beat Pakistan by eight wickets.
Coming to Sunday's clash, the White Ferns are undergoing a rut in T20I cricket at the moment. They have suffered a whopping 10 defeats in a row in their previous games, and will need to turn the tide strongly if they are to mount a challenge at this edition of the 20-over showpiece.
As for the Proteas, they are entering the marquee event with a better record, having clinched an eight-wicket win in the recently-concluded series decider against Pakistan. The 2-1 series victory was preceded by a 1-1 stalemate against India in July.
At the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup, South Africa are placed in Group B and will kick off their campaign against West Indies in Dubai on October 4. New Zealand are in Group A and will take on India first, also in Dubai on October 4.
