The Proteas completed the group stages of their 2022 World Cup campaign with an incredible three-wicket, final-ball victory over India at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday.
In her more than 22-year long career, Mithali Raj has broken numerous records and it seems, she brings up milestones in every game she plays. India are currently taking on South Africa in a crucial Women's World Cup game in Christchurch and Mithali scored yet another half-century. Mithali has more than 60+ half-centuries in her ODI career and during the match against South Africa, she brought up another milestone in her illustrious career.
The Indian women's cricket team will take on South Africa in a must-win World Cup match with an eye on the semi-finals spot. The match will be played at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch and is expected to be a high-octane clash with the last-four spot for India. The Mithali Raj-led side is currently at the fifth spot with six points, which includes three wins and three loses. South Africa, on the other hand, have already booked a spot in the semi-finals along with current table toppers Australia.
Smriti Mandhana and Yastika Bhatia moved up to the 10th and 39th spots respectively in the recently-released ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings, but skipper Mithali Raj's descent in the batters' chart continued as she dropped to eighth position. Star opener Mandhana, who played modest knocks of 35, 10 and 30 in India's previous three matches in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup, climbed up one place to enter the top 10 with a rating of 663.
