Thembi Kgatlana and Tabitha Chawinga clash in Chinese Women's Super League opener

Thembi Kgatlana will go toe-to-toe with Tabitha Chawinga as Jiangsu Suning face Beijing Phoenix in Chinese Women's Super League opener on Saturday.

Kgatlana will be making her league debut alongside her South African compatriot Linda Motlhalo for Beijing following their move to China from Houston Dash in February.

The duo were part of Banyana Banyana's maiden outing at the Women's World Cup in France, with the reigning African Women's Footballer of the Year scoring the country's first goal ever in the competition.

On the other hand, Malawi international Chawinga will head to the pitch with Ghana's Elizabeth Addo in the colours of Jiangsu.
