IND-W vs SA-W Match Prediction: Match 10, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report & More – ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

IND-W vs SA-W: It is time for another high-profile clash in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 as India Women are set to take on South Africa Women in the upcoming game. This match will be held at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, starting at 3 PM IST on Thursday.

India Women Preview 

India Women have faced Sri Lanka and Pakistan in two games and have recorded a rather easy win. Though they have not been clinical with their performances, they still managed to win games. But going forward, they need to make sure that they address the issues, as now they will be playing important matches.

• Key Batter: Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol are two key batters for India going into this game.
• Captaincy: Captain Harmanpreet has not been at her best, but in a big game, she is expected to do well.
• Batting Strength: We are not used to not seeing good starts by Indian openers, especially Smriti Mandhana. She has been tentative in both games, but she is the no. 1 ranked batter. The good thing is other batters have stepped up and scored runs.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling has been pretty good for India. Shree Charani, Sneh Rana, and and Deepti Sharma are handling the spin bowlers. Kranti Goud and Renuka Thakur have been in great form.

Pakistan Women Preview 

South Africa had a horrible first match, getting all out for just 69 runs. But they bounced back brilliantly and delivered an all-round performance to win their first game. They will be keen to carry on their form to win another game.

• Batting: Tazmin Brits has been in red-hot form and stuck another century in the last game. Sune Luss, Marizanne Kapp, and Laura Wolvaardt have also scored runs for them.
• Bowling: The bowling did well for South Africa in the last game. Nonkululeko Mlaba picking up four wickets must be a confidence booster, as they got good support from the other bowlers as well.

ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch and Weather Report

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium has been an excellent batting venue and is known to produce a true-batting wicket with an even-paced surface. There is not much variable bounce, and the ball comes nicely onto the bat. However, in the last few years, spinners have gotten help from the surface in domestic games, so that will be a factor. But it has been a good chasing venue.

There is a prediction of a heavy thunderstorm on Thursday in Vizag, which will be a sign of worry ahead of this game. The temperature is expected to be around 32°C with 80 percent humidity.

IND-W vs SA-W Match Prediction – Who Will Win? 

This is an interesting game, as both teams have had similar form. India Women will largely depend on the start by the openers. If not, they will be slightly under pressure. Their fielding has also been poor this year. South Africa are certainly ahead in this department. But India have had better numbers against South Africa, so we think India Women are slightly ahead for this game.
