On Thursday, February 2, India and South Africa, the hosts, will compete in the Women’s Tri-series final. With the exception of the game against South Africa, which was postponed because of rain, the Women in Blue have won all of their games and finished first in the points table. With two victories and a loss to India, the Proteas, on the other hand, are second in the standings.
When India plays South Africa in Thursday’s women’s tri-series final, the top players will be expected to play with even more confidence. Without the experienced duo of Smriti Mandhana and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, India would have struggled to score a competitive total against the West Indies before the match against the hosts was abandoned.
