India W vs South Africa W, Women's World Cup 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

India Women are taking on South Africa Women in match number 10 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. This is the third match for both teams in the tournament. The Women in Blue have two wins out of two. South Africa were hammered in their first match by England, but recovered to beat New Zealand.

India began their campaign with a 59-run win [DLS method] over Sri Lanka in Guwahati before getting the better of Pakistan by 88 runs. The Women in Blue have an impressive head-to-head record against South Africa in ODIs, but the Proteas have the edge if we look at recent World Cup encounters.

While Team India have won both their league games so far, their performances have been far from smooth. The batting department, in particular, needs some sharpening. In their first match, India collapsed to 124-6 before the lower order rescued them. Against Pakistan as well, the top and middle order batters failed to convert starts.
