Women's WC: South Africa Elect To Bowl Against India As Rain Delays Start

By IANS News October 09, 2025 • 15:52 PM View: 253

VDCA International Cricket Stadium: South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in Match 10 of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup at the ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium here on Thursday.

The toss was delayed because of a brief spell of rain and resultant wet outfield that forced the ground staff to bring out the covers. The first ball will be bowled after 4 pm with no loss of overs despite the delay.

Both teams made one change in their playing XIs, with India bringing in Amanjot Kaur in place of Renuka Thakur, while South Africa included Sekhukhune in place of Masabata Klaas.
