Team India has played two and won two in the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025. But the match against South Africa on Thursday will perhaps be their biggest challenge in the tournament, thus far. The SA team is coming on the back of a comfortable win against New Zealand, after an infamous 69 not out vs England.
In some regards, the challenge is even greater for the Indians, who are guilty of some ordinary fielding and sub-par catching, having dropped 5-6 catches until now. The middle-order batting remains a concern too, and it would also be interesting to see, if Amanjot Kaur can make the XI now.
