South Africa Wins Rain-Delayed Toss and Opts to Bowl Against India in Women’s Cricket World Cup
India aims to extend its winning streak against South Africa, who seek to improve after a mixed start in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 with a 20-12 head-to-head deficit.
- On October 9, 2025, India Women host South Africa Women in Match 10 at Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, starting at 3:00 PM IST.
- India enter the match unbeaten after two wins and seek to preserve their 100% record, while South Africa bounced back from an opening 69 all out to beat New Zealand.
- Visakhapatnam's pitch should favour batters early, then spinners later, and Jemimah Rodrigues suggested around 270 could be match-winning; Amanjot Kaur replaces Renuka Singh for India, while Tumi Sekhukhune debuts for South Africa.
- Rain around toss time may delay the start, though the match is expected to proceed after groundstaff efforts; a defeat would dent India's momentum and leave them cornered before Australia on October 12.
- This meeting begins a pivotal 10-day gauntlet that could determine India’s tournament trajectory as Vizag hosts its first women's ODI since 2014, with India leading the head-to-head 20 wins to 12.
