The Women’s ODI Tri Series 2025 continues as South Africa Women (SA-W) take on India Women (IND-W) in Match 5 at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Wednesday, May 7. The crucial encounter will kick-off at 10:00 AM IST.

South Africa Women are staring down the barrel after two back-to-back losses. They were outplayed by both Sri Lanka and India in their opening fixtures and another loss will officially knock them out of the tri-series. The pressure is well and truly on Laura Wolvaardt and Co. to turn things around.

Meanwhile, India Women are in pole position despite a minor setback in their previous outing. After wins over Sri Lanka and South Africa to start the tournament, Harmanpreet Kaur and her troops were handed a narrow three-wicket loss by the Lankans. With a win here, India will seal their spot in the final and look to do it in style.
