Top Order - Laura Wolvaardt (C), Phoebe Litchfield, and Smriti Mandhana

Laura Wolvaardt will open the innings and lead the side. The South African skipper was brilliant with the bat and ended the tournament as the leading run-scorer. She became only the second batter after Alyssa Healy in 2022 to smash a ton in both the semifinal and final of a single ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.

To open alongside would be Phoebe Litchfield to make the most of the Powerplay. The Southpaw smashed the fastest ton in the history of the Women's World Cup Knockouts. Smriti Mandhana will bat at 3, who can smash the bowlers in the second half of the Powerplay and anchor the innings in the middle overs.
