New Delhi: The Women in Blue will look to continue their winning momentum when they take on South Africa in their third encounter of the 2025 Women’s World Cup. So far, Team India has won both their matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, the lack of runs from batting spearhead Smriti Mandhana will be a big concern for the team against South Africa.
On the other hand, South Africa’s campaign has been a rollercoaster. They bundled out for just 69 runs against England, suffering a massive 10-wicket defeat. However, Laura Wolvaardt and Co. bounced back brilliantly against New Zealand. They restricted the Kiwis to 231 with disciplined bowling, and their batters chased the target comfortably, winning by 6 wickets with 9.1 overs to spare.
Head-to-head record
India and South Africa have played 33 WODI matches against each other. The Women in Blue have won 20 games, while the Proteas Women have won 12 matches.
