In a commanding display of cricket, India Women trounced South Africa Women by 10 wickets in the one-off Test match, showcasing their superiority with both bat and ball. Despite a resilient batting effort from South Africa in their second innings, the early damage inflicted by the hosts ensured a comprehensive victory.

Opting to bat first, India Women declared their innings at a formidable 603/6, thanks to an extraordinary opening partnership between Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. The duo amassed a record 292 runs for the first wicket, laying a solid foundation for the innings. Shafali Verma was the star of the show, scoring a remarkable 205 runs, while Smriti Mandhana contributed a brilliant 149. Their stellar performance was further bolstered by contributions from Harmanpreet Kaur (69) and Richa Ghosh (86), propelling India past the 600-run mark.

For South Africa, Delmi Tucker emerged as the pick of the bowlers with two wickets, while Nadine de Klerk, Tumi Sekhukhune, and Nonkululeko Mlaba each chipped in with a wicket.

South Africa's Struggles in the First Innings

In response to India's imposing total, South Africa's batting lineup crumbled, managing only 266 runs. Marizanne Kapp was the standout performer with 74 runs, while Sune Luus (65), Anneke Bosch (39), and Nadine de Klerk (39) showed promise but failed to convert their starts into significant scores. Sneh Rana was the wrecker-in-chief for India, claiming an impressive 8-wicket haul, while Deepti Sharma accounted for the remaining two wickets.

South Africa Show Fight in the Second Innings

Facing a daunting deficit of 337 runs, South Africa were forced to follow on. The Proteas' second innings witnessed a spirited fightback, led by Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus. Wolvaardt scored a magnificent 122, while Luus added a resilient 109, with the pair sharing a crucial 190-run partnership for the second wicket. Despite their efforts, South Africa's middle order once again faltered, but Nadine de Klerk's valiant 61 helped them post a total of 373 runs, avoiding an innings defeat and setting a target of 37 runs for India.

For India, Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad each claimed two wickets, while Pooja Vastrakar, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur chipped in with a wicket apiece.

India's Openers Seal the Victory

Chasing a modest target of 37 runs, India’s openers Shafali Verma (24*) and Shubha Satheesh (13*) wasted no time, taking only 9.2 overs to achieve the target and seal a comprehensive 10-wicket victory for the hosts.

This dominant performance underscores India's strength in women's cricket, highlighting their depth and talent across all departments. As the team celebrates this emphatic win, they will look to carry this momentum forward into future challenges.
