🏏South Africa Women vs India Women, 2nd T20I, 🏏

Series: India Women tour of South Africa 2026, Venue: Kingsmead, Durban

South Africa Women have won the toss and have opted to field

1pm local: Hello and welcome to the second T20I of this five-match series. Durban is the venue again but it's an earlier start today and it might change the way the pitch behaves. Might play a bit slower compared to the first match where South Africa chased down a target of 158 in the final over. India were guilty of not capitalising on a solid platform with the bat in that contest. The visitors made some errors in the field as well. Let's see if they're able to rectify those things.

Pitch Report: Conditions are exceptionally dry today. We are playing on a used surface from the first match, which suggests the deck will likely slow down as the game progresses. Batters should remain watchful; if the bowlers hit a consistent good length, the lack of pace could make timing difficult.

Teams:

India Women (Playing XI): Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Richa Ghosh(w), Arundhati Reddy, Anushka Sharma, Shreyanka Patil, Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Kranti Gaud

South Africa Women (Playing XI): Laura Wolvaardt(c), Sune Luus, Tazmin Brits, Annerie Dercksen, Anneke Bosch, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta(w), Ayabonga Khaka, Tumi Sekhukhune, Nonkululeko Mlaba

Harmanpreet: We were thinking to bowl first. It's a good surface. Batting first is also not a bad option. Two changes: Anushka will play here first game. Kranti also in. Had good discussions. Batting wise we were okay, bowling plans we didn't execute.

Wolvaardt: Going to have a bowl. Wicket should be a little slower overall. Nice to know what to chase later on. Still four more games in the series, plenty of chance to do that later on (testing the batters by batting first). Same team.

Sekhukhune to Shafali Verma, SIX, she's picked it launches it into the stands, full and outside off, Verma gets under the ball nicely and hits it through the line to long-off.

India--8/0 after 1 over.

Thanks for the tag Madhu.

Hope India wins this game make it 1-1.

Cheers..
