The tenth fixture of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 promises a captivating contest as India Women take on South Africa Women on October 9th at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. The match kicks off at 3:00 PM IST, setting the stage for one of the most awaited clashes of the tournament.
India have been in formidable form so far, showcasing all-round dominance in their opening fixtures. Against Sri Lanka, they recovered from a precarious 124/6 to post a DLS-adjusted 270, thanks to valuable lower-order contributions, before bowling out the opponents for 211 to register a 59-run victory. Their momentum continued in the high-voltage clash versus Pakistan, where they put up 247 on the board and bundled out the rivals for just 159, sealing an emphatic 88-run win to remain unbeaten.
South Africa, meanwhile, have experienced contrasting fortunes. After being dismissed for a mere 69 in their opening encounter against England — leading to a heavy 10-wicket defeat — they bounced back superbly against New Zealand. Their bowlers put up a disciplined performance to restrict the Kiwis to 231, before the batters ensured a comfortable 6-wicket victory with 9.1 overs to spare, reigniting their campaign.
