IND Women

India women defeated South Africa women by 10 wickets in the final session of the final day in Chepauk, where the one-off Test in India’s Tour of South Africa 2024 was played. Shafali Verma with her maiden double century in Test Cricket, Smriti Mandhana with 149, and Sneh Rana with her 10-wicket haul were the main architects of India’s convincing win over Proteas women. For India, there were several high points in this game, but the thing that will stick in the memory of the game is how hard South Africa fought under difficult circumstances for nearly 240 overs. South Africa forced India to bat for the second time after declaring at 603 for 6, which showed that the visitors had extraordinary determination to win this contest. After being bowled out for 266 in the first innings, South Africa rallied behind centuries from Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus, as well as a determined Nadine de Klerk, to force a final session. South Africa started the fourth day of the test in a comfortable position at 232 for 2, trailing by 105 runs with eight wickets in hand. But South Africa lost Marizanne Kapp early in the morning when the score was 264, and after that, South Africa lost two wickets in quick succession. Though the African team tried really hard, they were bowled out for more than 100 runs in the next 50 overs in their second inning. South Africa’s second innings ended at 373, setting India a 37-run target to win the Chennai test. Shafali and Shubha Satheesh, who came in ahead of Smriti Mandhana to open in the second inning, took 9.2 overs to chase it down. This is the first time since 1976 that a women's Test match was played at Cheapuk Stadium in Chennai.
