SHARE
The second ODI between India Women and South Africa Women on June 19, 2024, kicked off under the electric skies of Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium — a venue known for witnessing cricketing spectacles. As part of the ICC Women’s Championship, expectations were sky-high, and from the very first ball, it was clear that this wasn’t going to be an ordinary game.
South Africa’s chase of 325 runs looked promising at intervals, but India’s resilience stole the show in the final overs. The drama peaked as every run, every delivery, and every decision mattered, culminating in a razor-thin 4-run victory for the home team.
South Africa Women fought gallantly as they pursued a daunting target of 326; the thanks to a stellar unbeaten 135 of skipper Laura Wolvaardt and a savage 114 of Marizanne Kapp. They were heartbroken, losing by only 4 runs with 321/6 in 50 overs.
