India’s spin bowling attack, led by Deepti Sharma, has been far more effective than the pacers throughout the tournament. The spin bowling trio of Deepti Sharma (17), Shree Charani (13), and Sneh Rana (7) has combined to pick 37 wickets compared to 20 wickets taken by the pace bowling attack, which consists of Kranti Gaud, Renuka Singh Thakur, Radha Yadav, and Amanjot Kaur.
The spin bowling attack’s ability to control the middle overs, apply pressure, and break opponents’ momentum has been crucial in India’s turnaround. Though the Navi Mumbai pitch is a batting-friendly pitch, as the match progresses, the spinners are expected to come into play and could prove decisive in slowing down South Africa’s scoring rate.
