Table of Contents

India Women will face South Africa Women in a much-anticipated league-stage encounter of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Thursday. The hosts, unbeaten in the competition so far, will be eyeing a third consecutive win to solidify their position at the top of the points table.

The Women in Blue have been in sublime form, dominating both their opening fixtures with clinical performances in all departments. Led by their in-form batters and disciplined bowling unit, India have capitalized on home conditions to maintain momentum. On the other hand, South Africa, who suffered a setback against England earlier in the tournament, bounced back impressively with a convincing win over New Zealand, restoring confidence in their campaign. However, the upcoming contest could face interruptions as the weather in Vizag poses a major concern for both teams and fans.

According to the latest weather updates from BBC, Visakhapatnam is likely to experience thundery showers and heavy cloud cover on match day. There are high chances of rain during the afternoon, especially around the scheduled start time, which could lead to multiple interruptions or even overs being reduced.

If rain intervenes as predicted, the pitch at the ACA-VDCA Stadium could retain moisture, offering extra movement to seamers under overcast skies. This might tilt the balance slightly in favor of bowlers early in the innings, testing both teams’ top orders. India’s pace attack, featuring disciplined operators with the new ball, could exploit such conditions, while South Africa’s bowlers, known for their bounce and accuracy, would look to respond in kind.
