The African champions began their FIFA Women's World Cup campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Sweden last weekend, with the team still looking to collect their first point at the tournament.
South Africa will come up against Argentina on Friday morning, knowing that a win cold seriously strengthen their chances of advancing to their next stages.

Ellis says they have analysed the South Americans and believes remaining solid at the back will open up chances at the other end.
"After such a magnificent performance against Sweden, we took a lot of positives out of the match and I think we were definitely very sound until right at the end," Ellis told the media.
"We also created many opportunities and going into this game against Argentina, it is a must-win. We must not only win but we must score goals to give us a realistic chance in the last match.
"We have analysed them, and I am sure they have analysed us. But we have taken the positives and we have added to that to see how we can be better, especially in the final third. We always going to create chances.
"so we've worked a lot on our finishing as well like we always do. A lot more on pure finishing to make sure that they get their eye in and make sure that when players are in a better position, we pass the ball to the player in a better position.
"That's not always the case because as a striker, when you get into that position, you want to score, but if we are defensively sound, we are going to create chances and will get the positive result that we need."
Banyana's clash with Argentina gets underway at 02h00 (South African time) at the Dunedin Stadium.
