The clash will see the team at the top of the World Cup table take on the second-placed side in what promises to be a thrilling encounter between two women's cricketing powerhouses.

For Proteas opener Tazmin Brits, who has represented South Africa in two previous T20 World Cup finals, the team's confidence has never been higher.

"Going to those two finals definitely gave us a bit more experience as a team, but not just that it's also the capability of the team. We have a lot more belief in ourselves that we are ranked up there with the world's best," Brits said.
