The Women’s ODI Tri-Nation Series continues as India Women (IN-W) lock horns with South Africa Women (SA-W) in Match 2 at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Tuesday, April 29. The exciting contest will begin at 10:00 AM IST.

India Women kicked off their campaign in style as they trounced Sri Lanka by nine wickets. With confidence sky-high, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will look to keep the winning juggernaut rolling.

Meanwhile, Laura Wolvaardt’s South Africa Women are stepping onto the field for the first time in this series, and they will be eager to stamp their authority and shake off their recent 50-over struggles.

Here are the top 3 captain and vice-captain picks for your IN-W vs SA-W Dream11 teams.

3. Laura Wolvaardt

Why Will Laura Wolvaardt Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

There is a reason Laura Wolvaardt is considered one of the silkiest batters in world cricket. She has that rare ability to combine textbook technique with modern-day aggression. In 2024, she absolutely lit up the ODI scene by scoring a staggering 697 runs in just 12 games at an eye-popping average of 87.12.

She scored consistently as she hammered three hundreds and three fifties with a highest score of an unbeaten 184*. This might be her first outing in 2025, but with the kind of touch she was in last year, don't be surprised if she picks up right where she left off. If South Africa are to challenge India, Wolvaardt's bat needs to do a lot of talking and going by her past record, it usually does.

2. Pratika Rawal

Why Will Pratika Rawal Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

If 2025 has belonged to anyone in women's ODIs so far, it’s been Pratika Rawal. The young Indian sensation has looked unstoppable, scoring 360 runs in just 4 matches at a sensational average of 120.00.Her composed 50* against Sri Lanka in the last match showed she is not just a dasher but someone who can pace an innings perfectly under pressure.

With one century and three fifties already this year, she has racked up numbers that even seasoned stars would envy. Pratika is a dream pick, a batter in peak form who could single-handedly boost your points, which makes her an apt captain or vice-captain pick.

1. Smriti Mandhana

Why Will Smriti Mandhana Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

There is stylish and then there is Smriti Mandhana stylish and she is currently batting like a dream. The left-hander has already smashed 292 runs in 4 ODIs this year at a strike rate touching 140 which is simply mind-blowing for 50-over cricket. 

She kicked off the Tri-Series with a fluent 43 off 46 balls, setting the tone at the top and making batting look ridiculously easy on a slightly sluggish Colombo pitch. Smriti’s combination of grace and power means that when she’s on song, she not only scores big but scores quick. With one hundred and one fifty under her belt in 2025, she is oozing form and confidence and is an absolute must-have as your captain or vice-captain.
