Preview
India Women will play against South Africa Women in the second ODI of the three-match series at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the opening match, India were exceptional with bat, ball, and in the field, demolishing the South Africans by a massive margin of 143 runs, to take a 1-0 series lead. Smriti Mandhana and Asha Shobana on debut were the two top performers for India versus South Africa in the first ODI.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium provided assistance to the pacers and spinners at various stages of the first ODI between India and South Africa, but the batters prepared to bat time were rewarded with runs as well. With that, any total in excess of 250 runs will be quite difficult to chase for either India or South Africa when they take the field at this venue for the second ODI.
