Currently, the Indian women’s team is playing a one-off Test match against South Africa at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In this match, the Indian women’s team won the toss and decided to bat first.

Against South Africa, both the openers Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Verma batted brilliantly and scored important centuries. Both these batsmen did not spare any bowler of South Africa and continuously attacked everyone. Let us tell you, before this only Test, a three-match ODI series was played between the Indian women’s team and South Africa, which the hosts won 3-0.

Smriti Mandhana batted very well in the ODI series, scoring 343 runs in three innings at an average of 114.33, including two centuries. Smriti Mandhana continued her form in the only Test against South Africa and scored another century for India.

Apart from Smriti Mandhana, Shefali Verma has also batted very well and scored a brilliant century for her team. Due to the centuries of these two, India has taken the lead in the first day of play itself.

The Indian women’s team would definitely like to win this one-off Test as well

So far in this tour, South African bowlers have bowled very poorly and the Indian batsmen have constantly put pressure on them. Currently, the Indian team is ahead in the only Test as well and if South Africa has to make a comeback in it, then they will have to take wickets of the Indian team at regular intervals from here. However, it will not be so easy for the South African women’s team.

Talking about Smriti Mandhana, she played a brilliant innings of 149 runs in 161 balls with the help of 27 fours and a six against South Africa in the first innings of this only Test. Not only this, the experienced batsman also made a brilliant partnership of 292 runs for the first wicket with Shefali Verma.

After this one-off Test, a three-match T20 series is also to be played between these two teams, which is starting from July 5. All these three T20 matches will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
