IND-W vs SA-W: Team Previews

India Women

The Indian women's cricket team is riding high on confidence after thrashing South Africa in the ODIs. The momentum is currently with India, with vice-captain Smriti Mandhana scoring two centuries in the series and captain Harmanpreet Kaur also in excellent form. 

The Indian women last played a Test series in December last year against England and Australia, winning both times. With the upcoming game happening at the Chidambaram Stadium and counting on their current momentum, the India women's team will be full of confidence as they face the South African women tomorrow.

Apart from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma is also in excellent form with both the ball and the bat, providing a significant boost to the Indian team. 

South Africa Women

After the devastating loss in the ODI series, the South African women's team, led by Laura Wolvaardt, will be looking for a morale-boosting victory in the Test match. With Laura Wolvaardt andTazmin Brits at the top of the order, along with Marizanne Kapp and Nadine de Klerk in the middle order, South Africa has a strong batting lineup capable of challenging the Indian bowlers.

 South Africa Women's last Test match was in February against Australia in Perth, where they suffered a massive defeat by an innings and 284 runs.

IND-W vs SA-W: MA Chidambaram Stadium Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Chepauk Stadium has historically supported bowlers, particularly spinners. The conditions are likely to favor spinners and bowlers who can effectively vary their deliveries. The Indian women's team has only played one Test match at this ground, which was against the West Indies in 1976 and ended in a draw. 

Given these conditions, the Indian team’s spin attack, powered by players like Deepti Sharma, could play a crucial role in the upcoming match against South Africa.
