Women's Test cricket returns to South Africa after 22 years as the Proteas host England for a one-off clash in Bloemfontein starting December 15. This will be South Africa women's third Test match of the year and having registered massive defeats against Australia and India, the Proteas women will be keen to turn it around while England look to fine-tune their preparation for what promises to be an iconic encounter - a day-night fixture at the MCG.
But before the epic, England have a job at hand to ensure a good segue into Christmas celebrations after having done so well across T20Is and ODIs until last week. South Africa have been below-par in the white-ball series but if the improvement during the India Test earlier this year is any indication, the women's time might just be extra motivated to do well in the four-day fixture, especially since England haven't played a Test match since June last year.
When and where to watch SA-W vs ENG-W one-off Test match live on TV and OTT?
The one-off Test match between South Africa and England in Bloemfontein will kick off on Sunday, December 15 at 2 PM IST on all four days till Wednesday, December 18. The South Africa vs England Women's Test will not have a live broadcast on TV in India but the live streaming of the game will be available on the JioCinema app and website.
