India will look to continue their winning run when they face South Africa in a crucial ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Group 1 clash in Manchester today.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s side has made a strong start to the tournament, registering a 64-run win over Pakistan and a commanding 95-run victory against the Netherlands.
Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, and Richa Ghosh have delivered strong performances with the bat, while Deepti Sharma has led the bowling attack with confidence.
South Africa, meanwhile, remain one of the strongest sides in women’s cricket. They bounced back from an opening defeat to Australia with a win over Pakistan.
Captain Laura Wolvaardt will be central to South Africa’s batting hopes as they prepare for a key contest.
The match is expected to be decided by India’s strong top-order batting against South Africa’s quality bowling attack, with Manchester conditions potentially assisting spinners and giving India a slight advantage.
In 2025 India had won the Women’s World Cup ODI Final against the same team.
