“That’s a thrilling turnaround from India, and Richa Ghosh truly delivered under pressure! Her 94-run blitz in a crunch situation speaks volumes about her temperament and skill — especially coming in at 102 for 6 when the game looked like it was slipping away,” Saurabh Kumar says from Vizag.
“Her partnerships with Amanjot and then Sneh Rana were not just about survival — they were aggressive, momentum-shifting stands. That kind of counterattack can demoralize a bowling side and lift the energy of the whole team. A total of 251, after being in deep trouble, is a statement total.”
“Now, with South Africa chasing under pressure and Marizanne Kapp trying to anchor things, the real battle begins. India’s bowlers, especially if the pitch is offering a bit, will be licking their lips. It’s not just about the runs on the board — it’s about how India seized back control when it mattered most.
“Now South African team is in a hurdle with Kapp doing the talking. It’s not going to be an easy chase for the tourists If the Indian bowlers can get early breakthroughs, especially Kapp or Wolvaardt, it could get really difficult for the tourists. Not an easy chase at all.”
