Sneh Rana's Five-fer Helps India Women Seal 15 Runs Win Over South Africa Women
South Africa Women: India Women pulled off a dramatic 15-run win over South Africa Women at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo to mark their second consecutive win in the ongoing Sri Lanka tri-series. India bounced back from a 140-run opening stand by the Proteas to script a memorable comeback, led once again by the ever-reliable Sneh Rana.
India’s 276/6 in 50 overs looked competitive but hardly invincible, especially when South Africa cruised to 140 without loss in the chase. But Rana’s decisive 48th over, which included three wickets, turned the match on its head and ensured the Women in Blue defended the total with just enough cushion.
Winning the toss and opting to bat for the second game in a row, India began steadily with openers Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana assessing the conditions early on. The pair put up 43 runs in the powerplay without taking many risks.
