Indian women's ODI team captain Mithali Raj is all set to lead the team in the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup in New Zealand. The team has been in the country for a month now, having played 5 ODIs with the hosts ahead of the big tournament. The India women lost the series 1-4, but ended the campaign with a victory. They also won their warm-up match against South Africa. There are a lot of expectations from the team after they finished runners-up to England in the last tournament in 2017 and also reached the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, losing eventually to hosts Australia.
The Proteas lost their first warm-up match against India at Rangiora Oval in preparation for next week's Women's Cricket World Cup on Sunday morning.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) changed the scorecard of the warm-up fixture between India-South Africa on numerous occasions and as a result, confusion was caused regarding the outcome of the match. Earlier, the scorecard stated that South Africa defeated India by four wickets, however, half an hour later, a scoresheet went viral on social media suggesting that India won the match by two runs. Sometime later, the ICC website also updated the scorecard, and eventually, it showed how India actually won the match by two runs. South Africa needed eight runs to win in the final over, but they managed to score just five, and in the end, India won the contest by 2 runs.
India opening batter Smriti Mandhana was struck on the head in the early stages of the warm-up match ahead of the upcoming Women's 50-over World Cup. She was hit on the head by a Shabnim Ismail bouncer during the warm-up match against South Africa on Sunday, reported ICC's official website. The left-handed batter was then looked upon by the team doctor and she retired hurt after an over and a half.
