Match No.10 of the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will feature a clash between India Women (IND W) and South Africa Women (SA W) at ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, on Thursday, October 9.

The hosts have gotten off to a flying start in the tournament, as they have registered back-to-back wins. Currently occupying the second position in the points tally, the Women in Blue will hope to continue their dominance and extend their winning streak.

Meanwhile, South Africa began their campaign with a heavy 10-wicket defeat at the hands of England. However, they bounced back with a magnificent win over New Zealand at Indore and currently hold the fifth spot in the points table. Notably, in the last five encounters between India and South Africa in the 50-over format, the former have come out victorious on each occasion.

The Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium pitch in Visakhapatnam is generally considered a batter-friendly surface, but the track tends to support spinners as the game progresses. The average first-inning score at this venue is 230, and the team winning the toss will look to bowl first at this venue.

Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani, Kranti Gaud, Renuka Singh Thakur

Laura Wolvaardt(c), Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Anneke Bosch, Sinalo Jafta(w), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba

South Africa's Tazmin Brits could be the player to watch out for with the bat in the upcoming game against India. The right-handed batter will enter this contest on the back of a match-winning ton against New Zealand. In her 89-ball 101, Brits hammered 15 boundaries and a six to guide her team to victory. The 34-year-old will hope to play the same brand of cricket and contribute heavily with the bat.

Deepti Sharma has been the standout bowler for Indian in this competition so far. In two games, the spinner has bagged six wickets at an average of 16.50 and an economy of 5.21. With back-to-back three-wicket hauls, Sharma will be confident to bamboozle the opposition batters with her skill set.
