IND-W vs SA-W: Team Previews

India Women

India gained a lead beating SA in 1st ODI (x.com)

India won the first ODI by a big margin of 143 runs. It was not the easiest of the wins as batting first they were cornered to 99 for 5. However, a record-breaking partnership lower down the order brought them back into the game. 

Led by a magnificent 117 from Smriti Mandhana, who scored her first ODI century at home, India added a staggering 166 runs after the fall of the fifth wicket- the highest ever in women's ODIs for the team. 

This late surge propelled them to a formidable total of 265 for 8, which proved too much for South Africa's batters on a challenging surface. 

Heading into this game, India will be looking for a better show from other batters- Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur, Dayalan Hemalatha and Jemimah Rodrigues. 

Bowlers were brilliant and did their job the other day and the same is expected from them as India look to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series.

South Africa Women

South Africa Women have a lot to reflect on before the second match. They began the first match on a strong note, taking early wickets, but failed to maintain that momentum. Smriti Mandhana's batting left their bowlers searching for answers. 

Besides Ayabonga Khaka, who claimed three wickets, none of the bowlers posed a significant threat. Batting let them down big time. Their batters struggled to adapt to the conditions and appeared uncomfortable facing India's spinners. 

With little turn around time to fine-tune their techniques, they have their work cut out for them.

In the previous match, Sune Luus was the only one to put up a fight, while her teammates faltered. Senior players like Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits, and Marizanne Kapp, need to step up and contribute with the bat. 

The team is counting on their experience to deliver crucial runs in the must-win game for the visiting team.
