Table of Contents

South Africa Women face Bangladesh Women in the 14th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on October 13, starting at 3:00 PM local time. South Africa enter this contest after back-to-back wins against New Zealand and India, aiming to maintain momentum in their push for the semifinals. Bangladesh, on the other hand, comes into the match on the back of two consecutive losses and will view this as a must-win to keep their qualification hopes alive.​

South Africa boast strong batting performances in the tournament, with players like Tazmin Brits, who averages 74.90, and Laura Wolvaardt leading the charge. Bangladesh’s batting has been led by Sharmin Akhter and Nigar Sultana, who have delivered some resistance but will need to step up significantly to challenge the Proteas’ bowling attack.​

This match is crucial for Bangladesh’s campaign, needing a win to stay in the semifinal race, while South Africa aim to consolidate their position with a third straight victory. Expect a competitive encounter at a venue that typically rewards good batting and intelligent bowling strategies.​

The ACA-VDCA stadium is known for being a batting-friendly pitch, offering consistent bounce and a smooth surface that allows batters to play freely, making it ideal for stroke-makers. Conditions typically favour teams chasing as the pitch tends to become more predictable as the game progresses. The team winning the toss often prefers to bowl first to exploit early movement and pressure the opposition before the pitch settles. Spinners can come into play in the middle overs when the pitch slows down, adding a tactical dimension to the game.
