The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 continues with India Women (IND-W) taking on South Africa Women (SA-W) in Match 10 on Thursday, October 9 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The high-voltage encounter will begin at 3:00 PM IST and promises to be an exciting battle between an unbeaten Indian side and a resurgent South African outfit.

India Women

India Women have made a dream start to their campaign as they have won both their matches and are sitting comfortably at the top of the table. After beating Sri Lanka Women in their opener, they totally outplayed Pakistan Women by a commanding 88-run margin. Batting first, India posted 247 with valuable contributions coming from nearly every batter, even though none went on to play a big knock.

Their bowling attack, led by Kranti Goud and Deepti Sharma starred with three wickets each while Sneh Rana chipped in with two to bowl Pakistan out for 159. For India to continue their winning run, opener Smriti Mandhana will be expected to fire at the top while the middle order needs to accelerate the scoring rate.

South Africa Women

After a disappointing start, being bowled out for just 69 in a crushing 10-wicket defeat against England Women, South Africa Women bounced back strongly with a six-wicket win over New Zealand Women. Their bowlers, led by Nonkululeko Mlaba (4/40), restricted the White Ferns to 231 before Tazmin Brits stole the show with a sublime 101, supported by Sune Luus (83), to guide the team home.

The South African camp will be high on confidence heading into this clash but will be well aware of the challenge that India poses at home. They will look for another big performance from the top order while bowlers like Mlaba, Masabata Klaas and Ayabonga Khaka will be crucial to keep India’s batters in check.

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium pitch report

The surface at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium is typically batting-friendly as it offers consistent bounce and value for strokes. Spinners tend to get assistance as the match progresses while pacers must make early use of swing and rely on changes of pace later on. Interestingly, teams batting second have won four of the five Women’s ODIs at this venue, suggesting that the pitch settles under lights and dew could play a role. Expect the captain winning the toss to opt for fielding first.
