India Women struggled to build momentum in their innings, finishing at 147 for 2. Shafali Verma was the standout performer for the visitors, scoring 57 off 58 balls, but her efforts were overshadowed by a collapse in the middle and lower order. South Africa’s bowlers, led by Chloe Tryon and Tumi Sekhukhune, dismantled the Indian batting line-up, taking three wickets each.

In this encounter, India reached 99 for 2 in the 13th over but lost eight wickets for 48 runs in the final 10 overs. Shafali’s 57 was the only score over 20 for India, with Anushka Sharma contributing 28. South Africa’s seamers, including Nonkululeko Mlaba, who took 1 for 17, kept the pressure on throughout. South Africa’s batting was equally impressive, with Luus and Wolvaardt forming a century partnership that lasted 10 overs. The duo added 106, with Luus scoring 57 and Wolvaardt 54. Though both were dismissed before the end, their partnership laid the foundation for a comfortable chase.#laura_wolvaardt #shafali_verma #sune_luus #sa_women #ind_women
