South Africa Vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score, Women's ODI World Cup 2025: Proteas Seek Early Breaks | BAN-W 28-0 (10)

Bangladesh for most of the powerplay showed no intent to score boundaries and would need to get their burners lit.

On the other hand, South Africa have bowled with a lot of control preventing any flourish by the opposition openers.

The run-rate hovers below 3 and we might have a wicket coming soon as pressure to score runs will rise after each passing over.

Bangladesh have picked up their scoring, thanks to Farzana who got 2 fours off Klaas in the last over but still, very precise by the Proteas women to contain scoring so far.

Bangladesh have started steadily here as the Proteas are exploiting the early swing and moisture at offer.

South Africa and Bangladesh have met 21 times in women’s ODIs, with South Africa dominating the rivalry at 18 wins to Bangladesh’s 3.

Bangladesh have won the toss and have chosen to bat first.

The pitch at the ACA-VDCA Stadium traditionally offers a batter-friendly surface, as seen during yesterday’s India vs Australia encounter, where India posted 330 runs and batting looked straightforward for both teams despite a slightly slow outfield. With several spells of rain over the past day and a half, and the pitch under covers, expect early moisture and dampness. This could mean a touch of seam movement and initial sluggishness, making strokeplay trickier until the pitch dries out. Still, if the rain stays away, scoring becomes easier as the day progresses, though dew later on will aid batters and make gripping the ball a significant challenge for bowlers.

Rain has dominated the build-up to this match. As soon as the India vs Australia game finished yesterday, heavy showers hit the ground, bringing the covers on. Precipitation chances remain high at around 50%, with rain predicted until at least 2 PM. The game is due to start at 3 PM IST, but even as skies are forecast to clear by match time, intermittent showers could still disrupt play. Temperatures are expected to hover around 28°C, making for warm and humid conditions. Significant dew is anticipated in the evening, potentially impacting the bowlers and making life trickier for fielding sides during the second innings.
