India Women will lock horns with South Africa Women in the 28th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022. The Hagley Oval in Christchurch will host this final league game.

India have won three of their six games and have six points to their name. It’s a do or die game for the Women in Blue. So a loss against the Proteas will knock them out of the competition.

India beat Bangladesh comprehensively in their last game. Batting first, India posted 229-7, with Yastika Bhatia scoring a fifty. Bangladesh were then knocked over for 119, with Sneh Rana taking four wickets. They will now look to seal a berth in the semi-finals by winning their last league game.

South Africa, meanwhile, have already qualified for the semis. They have won four of their six games and have nine points after their last game against West Indies was washed out due to rain. They will hope to end their league campaign on a high.

South Africa were put in to bat in a 20-over-per-side contest. They made a worst possible start, losing their first four wickets inside six wickets. Mignon du Preez top-scored with 38. Rain arrived in the 11th over and washed out the remaining game. That resulted in both teams getting a point as South Africa sealed their berth in the competition's knockouts.
