The stage is set for an intense battle as England Women face South Africa Women in the 1st Semi-Final of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, being played today, Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. The match begins at 3:00 PM IST, and the toss will be held at 2:30 PM IST.
Both teams have had impressive campaigns leading up to the semi-final. England Women have looked balanced with their consistent top-order batting and tight bowling attack, while South Africa Women have displayed strong all-round performances to reach this stage.
The Barsapara pitch in Guwahati is expected to favor batters early on, but it tends to slow down as the match progresses, bringing spinners into play. Given the conditions and the impact of dew later in the evening, the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first.
Based on recent toss patterns and overall head-to-head analysis, South Africa Women are predicted to win the toss today.
