Both sides head into this clash eager to bounce back after opening losses.

New Zealand’s are coming off a loss against Australia. After opting to bowl, they had the defending champions wobbling at 128 for 5, but Ashleigh Gardner’s brilliant 115 turned the tide, guiding Australia to 326. Sophie Devine fought back with a superb 112 off 112 balls, while Amelia Kerr (33 off 56) and Izzy Gaze (28 off 18) offered support.

However, the chase never quite caught fire, and the White Ferns were bowled out for 237, losing by 89 runs.

South Africa’s start was even more disappointing. Their batting collapsed to just 69 against England, with Sinalo Jafta’s 22 off 36 the only notable effort.

The bowlers had no real chance to make an impact as England cruised to a 10-wicket win. The Proteas will be determined to reset and find their footing when they take the field in Indore.
