New Delhi: When India will take on the South African team here on Wednesday in the Women's Triangle ODI series, it will be keen to recover his place in the final by recovering from the defeat of Sri Lanka in the last match.
Harmanpreet Kaur and her team's eight -match victory ended on Sunday with a defeat to host Sri Lanka.
Although the Indian team is still a strong contender to reach the finals due to their better run rate, but she would like to reach this point by winning their next match.
The Indian team topped the points table by scoring four points in three matches. He is ahead of Sri Lanka in second place, which also has four digits, but its net run rate is -0.166. India's net run rate is 0.433.
The South Africa team has not won any match yet, but it has to play two matches yet and if she won in them, she too can make it to the finals.
India's batting in this series has been a big positive side. Opener Pratika Rawal is at the top of the batsmen who scored the most runs by scoring 163 runs including two half -centuries. Other batsmen have also contributed to this.
Sneh Rana has handled the command in bowling well. He has taken 11 wickets while bowling with an economy of 4.25 in three matches. Rana took five wickets in the last match against South Africa and she would like to repeat that performance.
In the first two matches, the bowlers won India, but their performance against Sri Lanka was not good. In this match, all -rounder Kashvi Gautam went out of the field after scoring only five overs.
As far as South Africa is concerned, his team is seen struggling. He has suffered defeat in eight of the last nine ODIs, including both matches of the series.
South Africa had presented a tough challenge to India in their first match but in the next match it suffered a bad defeat to Sri Lanka.
He has performed poorly by both batting and bowling departments. The batsmen have had to struggle to rotate the strike, while the bowlers' line and length lacks discipline, which makes it difficult for him to pressurize or take wickets. The struggle to deal with Sri Lanka's scorching heat is increasing their troubles.
