Hello and welcome to the highlights of the second ODI between India Women and South Africa Women at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
7.45AM: The Indian women had a surprise announcement waiting for them on the occasion of women’s day on Monday with the BCCI announcing the return of India in Test cricket after 7 years
7.30AM: As we witnessed India slump to a heavy defeat in the first-match, certain chinks in the armour were heavily exposed. India failed to get past 200 – sighting a lack of firepower in its batting order while the bowlers failed to make early inroads.

Here’s what the India vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur had to say about the loss: “We didn’t get any international cricket for a year. Apart from three IPL games we didn’t get much time to work as a unit. As a team you need to spend time and get ready for any series. In the past few years, we had built a rhythm but we will need time to create that rhythm and next game we will try to do that as a unit.” “Nowadays everybody is looking for a big total, every game we want to score more than 250 but for that you need some time and matches.” |

India vs South Africa 2nd ODI preview: Mithali Raj and Co. hopeful of a turnaround
1st ODI – review
Mithali Raj and her girls were inflicted a harrowing eight-wicket defeat by a solid Proteas lineup led by Sune Luus. The Proteas sent India into bat first and snapped the Indian top-order cheaply. With Shabnim Ismail, Marizanne Kapp and Ayabonga Khaka setting up a stern test up-front, the Indian middle-order failed to up the scoring rate even as skipper Mithali Raj (50 off 85 balls) and her deputy, Harmanpreet Kaur (40 off 41 balls) aimed for a resurgence. Skipper Luus and Nonkululeko Mlaba held the batters with a fine spell of spin-bowling to further the axe on India who eventually finished at 177/9 in 50 overs.
A thumping reply from the visitor was in the offing as openers Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt stitched a massive 169-run partnership to trump the Indian bowlers. South Africa nailed the chase in 40 overs and handed an agonising defeat for India on its return after 364 days.
