India will look to build on their excellent start to the ICC Women's T20 World Cup when they take on a dangerous South Africa side in a Group 1 clash at Old Trafford here on Sunday. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side began their campaign with a commanding 64-run win over Pakistan, with opener Smriti Mandhana and wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh providing the batting impetus before Deepti Sharma produced a match-winning spell with a five-wicket haul.

India continued in the same vein against the Netherlands, beating them by a huge margin of 95 runs after an all-round show by the Asian heavyweights. India, who are still chasing their maiden T20 World Cup title despite five semi-final appearances, will be keen to carry the momentum forward against a South African team known for their aggressive batting and quality bowling attack. The contest could revolve around India's top order against South Africa's varied bowling attack.
