Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2nd women’s ODI between India and South Africa at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Benglauru on Wednesday.
DRINKS! South Africa have done well so far! They would have been in a better position if they had taken the chances they put down. They would love to continue the same but would like a couple of wickets which will put them right on top. India on the other hand, have been cautious. The good thing for them is they haven’t lost a lot of wickets. Will we see them step on the gas after the break?
