India vs South Africa Women 4th ODI preview

Playing their first bilateral series since the Women's T20 World Cup final in March 2020, the Indian Women have gone down 1-2 against South Africa with two ODIs still remaining in the series. The hosts faltered in their first game back, losing by 8 wickets, but made a successful comeback as they took down the Proteas by 9 wickets. A competitive looking third match between the sides was cut short on Friday after rain played spoilsport, handing South Africa a 6-run win by the D/L method and making this match one of the most important ones in the series.

Jemimah Rodrigues' poor run of form continued as she was sent back for a duck while Smriti Mandhana put up 25. However, with 77 runs off 108, Punam Raut was the best batter for the side along with Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma who each made 36. Chasing 248, South Africa's Lizelle Lee redeemed herself from her dip in the 2nd ODI by putting up a match-winning 132. With 37, Mignon du Preez was the only other team member who made it past the 20-run mark. Veteran Jhulan Goswami remained consistent as she picked up two wickets for India.
