Match Details
Teams: India Women vs South Africa Women
Date & Time: Wednesday, 9 Oct 2025 • 3:00 PM IST
Venue: Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam
Tournament: Women’s ODI
Short Preview
India enter with mixed but positive recent form (W W L W L) and a dominant H2H vs South Africa (India have won the last five). South Africa’s form is volatile (W L L W W) but their top core—Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp, Laura Wolvaardt—has been piling fantasy points. India’s all-round engine of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Harmanpreet Kaur plus the red-hot Smriti Mandhana gives them balance at home.
Win Probability (Pre-toss)
Team | Chance |
|---|---|
India Women | 64% |
South Africa Women | 36% |
Why: Strong H2H streak, home venue, and more in-form all-rounders for India. SA rely heavily on 3–4 players.

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact (role-based)
India PP: K Goud (new-ball wickets), R Singh Thakur (can swing it).
India Middle/Death: Sneh Rana/Deepti squeeze middle; Goud/Thakur for death bursts.
SA PP: Khaka (line/length), Kapp (hard lengths).
SA Middle/Death: Mlaba strangles through middle; Kapp/Klaas at death.
Fantasy angle: Prioritise pacers who bowl both PP and death (Goud, Kapp). Add one control spinner for stability (Mlaba/Deepti/Rana).
Differential Picks (High Upside, Lower Pick%)
Amanjot Kaur (IND AR): Recent high average; floats in batting order + a few overs.
Nadine de Klerk (SA AR): Multi-facet points; good if SA bat first.
Chloe Tryon (SA AR): One-over cameo + boundary hitting; GPP special.
Radha Yadav (IND L-arm spin): X-factor if pitch grips (listed as big scorer when picked).
Jemimah Rodrigues (IND BAT): If early wicket, she anchors for 60–80 run potential.

Aggressive C: Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp
VC pool: Kapp, Mandhana, Rana, Goud
Conditional Strategy & Toss Scenarios
If India bat first: Elevate Mandhana (C); keep two Indian pacers (Goud + Thakur). Consider Radha/Sneh if the pitch slows for middle overs.
If India chase: Deepti (C) for all-phase involvement; Harmanpreet gains value in paced chase.
If SA bat first: Prioritise Kapp (VC/C) + Brits; add Khaka/Klaas as wicket-taking punt.
If SA chase: Anchor value for Wolvaardt rises; Deepti/Rana for squeeze wickets.
Final Tips
Track playing XI & batting order: swap in Amanjot/Harmanpreet if they bat higher.
Keep one control spinner (Deepti/Rana/Mlaba) regardless of toss.
Ceiling stack: One of Mandhana/Deepti + one of Brits/Kapp almost mandatory.
Leave 1 credit & 1 swap for toss/last-minute XI changes.
Good luck—build balanced, anchor with all-rounders, and chase upside with one differential!
