India Women (IND-W) and South Africa Women (SA-W) are all set to cross swords in the third and final ODI of the ongoing three-match series on Sunday, June 23 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Hosts India won the previous two games and have already won the series, leading by an unassailable 2-0 margin. 

In the previous match, Renuka Singh Thakur was ruled out which made may for young Arundhati Reddy, who was making her debut. The last game was a record-breaking game, with over 600 runs scored in total. For India, it was the duo of captain Harmanpreet Kaur (103 off 88) and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana (136 off 120) who smashed their sixth and seventh ODI century, respectively. With the help of two tons, India managed to 325/3 in 50 overs, making it the first 300-plus total in Women’s ODIs at home.

During the chase, the visitors were also determined to chase down the high total and get the kind of start needed. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt played an unbeaten knock of 135 runs along with experienced Marizanne Kapp who smashed her third WODI century. With 11 runs required off the final over, Pooja Vastrakar kept her cool and bowled a brilliant last over, giving just six runs as Kaur & Co. won the game by four runs.

IND-W vs SA-W Probable Best Performers:

Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana

Star Indian opener Smriti Mandhana could be the best batter in the third ODI against South Africa women. She is currently in incredible form. After smashing a century in the first ODI, she followed up with another century in the second. The Mumbai-born became the first Indian batter to achieve hundreds in consecutive innings, and she is India’s joint-highest scorer, alongside Mithali Raj. The 27-year-old has been very impactful and can once again be a threat to the Proteas bowlers in the summit clash.

Probable Best Bowler: Pooja Vastrakar

Pooja Vastrakar can prove to be the best bowler yet again in the third ODI against Wolvaardt & Co. Hailing from Madhya Pradesh, the young 24-year-old stunned everyone and has been amongst the wickets. She is currently the highest wicket-taker of the series with four wickets in two innings with an economy of 4.13. The pacer could be a potent threat to the opposition batters in the forthcoming game.
