After dominant wins over Sri Lanka and arch-rivals Pakistan, hosts India have made a strong start to their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign. However, the real challenge begins now for Harmanpreet Kaur and her team.
India’s next fixture sees them take on South Africa in Visakhapatnam today, the first in a tough four-match stretch that also includes heavyweights Australia, England, and New Zealand.
SA skipper Laura Wolvaardt won the toss and elected to bowl first in Vizag.
South Africa, who were handed a heavy 10-wicket defeat by England, bounced back with an impressive six-wicket win over New Zealand. They'll be keen to build on that momentum, but beating an in-form Indian side on home soil will be no easy task.
