But after the first game we understood our mistakes and learned how to bat on that wicket. That's what we discussed and we did not want to go hard in the first few overs and that's what the team expected from me.

India is taking on the hosts South Africa in this first encounter at the Buffalo park stadium, East London. A total of 7 matches will be played in this series, including the finals. In 2020, right before the T20 world cup, India played a tri-series in Australia. This time, similarly, continuing the practice for the T20 World Cup in South Africa starting next month. Smriti Mandhana will be leading the Indian team today due to the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur who is out due to sickness and the hosts will be led by Sune Luus. These two sides met last time in 2022 where the Proteas sealed the series 2-1 against the Women in Blue in India. <\/p> \u00a0<\/p> HEAD TO HEAD :-<\/strong><\/span><\/p> India women and South Africa women have faced each 12 times in this format and India clearly have the upper hand winning 8 out of those 12 encounters. <\/p> \u00a0<\/p> TOSS:-<\/strong><\/span><\/p> South Africa won the toss and elected to field first!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>","PostMatchCommentary":" Powerplay (1-6 Overs) :-<\/span><\/strong><\/p> India- 29\/1 (4.8 rpo, 1x4, 0x6) <\/span>||<\/span><\/strong> <\/strong><\/span>South Africa- 30\/2 (5.0 rpo, 2x4, 1x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Middle Overs (7-15 Overs) :- <\/span><\/strong><\/p> India- 64\/4 (7.1 rpo, 4x4, 2x6) <\/span><\/strong>|| <\/strong><\/span>South Africa- 56\/3 (6.2 rpo, 6x4, 0x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Death Overs (16-20 Overs) :- <\/strong><\/span><\/p> India- 54\/1 (10.8 rpo, 8x4, 2x6) <\/strong><\/span>||<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>South Africa- 34\/4 (6.8 rpo, 4x4, 1x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p> A comfortable and convincing win for India today. 148 was always going to be a tough chase owing to the slowness of this Pitch. India did get off to a shaky start but managed to pull back very well towards the end thanks to a magical innings by the debutant Amanjot ( 41* off 30 balls ) and the senior pro Deepti <\/span>( 33 off 23 balls )<\/span>. In return, South Africa had a few batters who got off to starts, including their captain Sune Luus <\/span>( 29 off 30 balls )<\/span> but none could convert them into a big match winning score.
