England vs South Africa: how to watch Women’s cricket T20 series on UK TV - dates, location, tickets and squad

Heather Knight will once more lead her women into battle against South African as they shorten the format for their third series this summer.

England completed a stunning 3-0 series triumph over South African in One Day Internationals and will now take up the shortest format of the game as they prepare for a three-match T20 series.

In England’s most recent fixture, Tammy Beaumont showed the ECB selectors what they will be missing at the Commonwealth Games as she smashed 119 from 107 balls to post a score of 371 - a innings that proved too much for her opposition.

Emma Lamb and Heather Knight both helped contribute to this mighty score and, despite efforts from Chloe Tryon, Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt, England concluded with a thumping 3-0 win.

Lamb earned herself Player of the Series for her efforts in the past three matches, scoring a total of 144 runs and Heather Knight will hope the momentum of such victory can be transferred into the shortest format of cricket as they prepare to face Sune Luus and her squad once more.
