It is Matchday in South Africa, and the stakes couldn't be simpler for the national women’s team: perfection.

The Proteas Women head into the third and final T20 International (T20I) of the series today with an unassailable 2-0 lead. However, for a team currently enjoying a "dominant run" of form, a simple series win isn't enough. The goal for today is a ruthless 3-0 clean sweep.

The Pursuit of Perfection

Cricket South Africa confirmed the squad's intent this morning, stating that the team is looking to "close out a dominant run with another win."

Securing a "whitewash" (winning every game in the series) sends a powerful message to the international cricketing fraternity. It speaks of consistency, depth in the squad, and the ability to maintain intensity even when the series trophy is already in the bag.

Unbreakable Spirit

Operating under the banner of #Unbreakable, the team has shown grit and flair throughout the series. Today’s match offers them the chance to finish the job in front of their home fans and cement their status as one of the most exciting teams to watch in world cricket.
