Match Details:
The 3rd match of the Women’s Super League T20 will be played between the Coronation and the Starlights at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town.
The match is scheduled to start at 01:30 PM IST (10:00 AM Local Time) and will be streamed live on the Pitch Vision SA YouTube channel.
Preview:
Having started off their campaign on a dull note the Starlights will be battling it out against the Coronations in what will be the third game of this tournament. The Starlights as stated above had a bad start to their campaign as they lost their opening match to the Thistles.
Both these teams coming into this match would be short on experience as it is still the early stages of the tournament and the management of both the teams would be trying to find the best combinations of the players. So, it would be hard to pick any favourites in this match and it will be interesting to watch how this game unfolds and which team gets past the finish line successfully.
CON vs STL Weather Report Match 3:

Pitch Report:
In the first match of the tournament that was played here, the pitch favoured the team batting first and chasing proved to be a difficult task, as the one batting first clinched the game by a healthy margin. So, the same behaviour can be expected in this game too, where the bowlers will be the ones deciding the course of the match for the most part.
