Hosts India will take on South Africa in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup on Thursday, October 09, in Vizag. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has a very good record at this venue, as they have played five games and won five games. In this showpiece event, they have played two matches and have won both against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. On the other hand, South Africa have played two games and has won one and lost one game.
The Proteas were thrashed by 10 wickets against England; however, they bounced back brilliantly against New Zealand and won the game by five wickets. They have momentum, and now they will look to get one past the tough Indian side, who, till now, have not played a perfect game.

IND-W vs SA-W: Match Preview
Jemimah Rodrigues, in the pre-game press conference, has said that the team is still searching to play an impeccable game with bat and ball in hand. The batter is not wrong, as India have been stretched by lesser ranked teams Sri Lanka and Pakistan with bat in hand. If not for the Women In Blue's spinners and some late resistance from lower-order batters, things would have looked very different for India.
Two premier batters of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kuar have not so far fired in the two games, and that has hurt India to put up scores above 270. Both batters have a good record against South Africa, and they will look to get back to form against their favorite side. On the other hand, the Proteas displayed great character by chasing a total of above 200. Tazmin Britts continued her red-hot hot by scoring her fifth century this year. The 34-year-old has been instrumental in South Africa winning a lot of games this year.

Along with Laura Wolvaardt, Britts has enabled South Africa to get off to good starts and also chase targets with relative ease. The opening partnership, along with Kapp, are the key batters of the side. If India manages to take wickets early of the trio, then they have a realistic chance of winning the game.
