IND-W vs SA-W Prediction: India will look to record their third straight win in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025.
Harmanpreet Kaur and her team have managed to start the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. They have beaten Sri Lanka and Pakistan in consecutive games to get four points on the board. Two points at this stage will help them to jump to the top ladder. They are ready for their next challenge, as they will face South Africa Women in the 10th game of the tournament.
This contest will be live from ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, on October 9 (Thursday), starting at 3 PM IST. India have not been at its best. They are still dropping catches, missing run-outs, and most importantly, the Smriti Mandhana-led top order has not fired. For South Africa, a century from Tazmin Brits and a four-fer by Nonkululeko Mlaba put them back in the race. Can they carry on the form here?

IND-W vs SA-W: Probable Best Batter
India Women: Despite two low scores, the hopes for Smriti Mandhana are very high. She is the no. 1 ranked batter in the world and is someone who just needs a few good shots to get back into form.
South Africa Women: Tazmin Brits made the world record of four centuries in five WODIs in the last game. The form she is in, it will not be a surprise if she scores yet another century.
IND-W vs SA-W: Probable Best Bowler
India Women: Kranti Goud won her first MOTM award in a World Cup event. She bowled superbly and didn't allow the batters to get away and was rewarded with wickets as well. She is young and will carry the confidence forward.
South Africa Women: Nonkululeko Mlaba is coming off a 4/40 spell against New Zealand, which laid a brilliant foundation for her team. With her slow variations, she will be getting good help from this pitch.
IND-W vs SA-W Today’s Match Prediction: India Women have yet to deliver a confident performance in this tournament. They have lacked consistency with the bat, and the field has become an issue for them. But if they make errors against South Africa, they won't let them come back in the game. The toss will be crucial because of the prediction of rain, and bowling first can be an advantage here. But overall, we will back the history and predict a close win for India Women.
