India Women will be back in action after more than a year. The Women in Blue have been out of action due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, this is their first ODI series after the West Indies ODI series that they won 2-1 in November 2019. India Women were scheduled to tour England and Australia but the pandemic ended up postponing the tours. With a full-strength squad available for selection, India will look to resume international cricket with a win.

On the other hand, South Africa Women are riding high on confidence after defeating Pakistan Women 3-0 in ODIs and 2-1 in T20Is. The Proteas were clinical in all three facets of the game during the series and are also coming on the back of some great performances.

Both sides are filled with talented players, which is why an exciting contest is on the cards.

India Women vs South Africa Women pitch report

This is the first international match at the venue in a long time and notably, only three ODIs have been played at this ground. Out of the three games, two sides have won while chasing and one team has successfully defended the target. The pitch is on the slower side, which is why spinners will be effective on the track and run-scoring won't be easy. The captain winning the toss is likely to bat first.
